To Guarantee the Peace: an Action Strategy for a Post-Conflict Sudan
By The Center for Strategic & International Studies
January 22, 2004 — A new, independent CSIS report, commissioned by the State Department’s Africa Policy Advisory Panel, argues that an international quick response and peacekeeping force will be essential to secure a Sudan peace settlement, reinforced by substantial economic assistance and debt reduction. Former Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Walter Kansteiner, who chairs the Africa Policy Advisory Panel, said: “It is my strong personal conviction, and the continued strong preference of the U.S. government, that the international community systematically build incentives for a future unified Sudan that lives in a stable peace and respects the rights of all. The CSIS report identifies many of the critical steps to create those incentives and make future unity a reality.”
