Sudan: From the Diplomatic Frontline in Search of Peace
Recorded on December 18, 2008
Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium
From the urgent need to bring relief to the suffering people of
Darfur to implementation of the agreement which ended Africa's
longest civil war, the United States has sought to mobilize the
international community to act. Those around the world who
are committed to human rights and to peace in the region must act
swiftly to make a difference on the ground for the people of Sudan,
especially in Darfur. The next few months are critical to
support the progress that's been made thus far on the
ground.
Please join us as Ambassador Richard S. Williamson, the
President's Special Envoy to Sudan, discusses the latest
developments in Sudan and America's efforts to increase prospects
for peace, stability and security in the region. Ambassador
Williamson, a practicing partner in the law office of Winston and
Strawn, previously has served as Ambassador to the United Nations
for Special Political Affairs, Ambassador to the U.N. Commission on
Human Rights, Assistant Secretary of State for International
Organizations, and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental
Affairs in the White House.
