<text>That this House notes with concern that the Minister for Trade and Asia responded to oral questions on the humanitarian crisis in Darfur on 20th February 2007; deplores the situation in which the government of Sudan is able in effect to veto any decision by the United Nations; understands that the joint African Union-United Nations force is still under-manned and under-resourced; further notes that since United Nations' sanctions were imposed in April 2006, and since the files on Sudanese Ministers perpetrating genocide were passed to the International Criminal Court in the Hague, and since the last peace deal was signed between North and South Sudan, the United Nations humanitarian programme believes the violence in Darfur has increased significantly; further notes with alarm that the Sudanese government's genocide policy has now spread to Chad and the Central African Republic, which are witnessing the continued slaughter of black Africans; and calls on the Government to act on the Prime Minister's statement at the 2006 Labour Party Conference that the UK has a responsibility to protect by pushing for immediate sanctions from the European Union on the Sudanese government.</text>
