Warfare in western Sudan displaced more than 2 million Sudanese and resulted in world-wide contoversy over extensive reports of atrocities and genocide. Members and friends of the Dartmouth Lawyers Association formed the DLA Darfur Crisis Committee and volunteered their time to prepare a Call for Action just published by the DLA. A copy of the full report can be downloaded free from the DLA website.
The report recommends immediate actions by the United Nations and the government of the United States and other world leaders to help alleviate the plight of those displaced from their villages by two years of civil war. It includes several recommendations to Congress and the Bush administation which require immediate attention. The Committee is now exploring whether a class action may be brought on behalf of the displaced Sudanese against the Government of Sudan and commercial enterprises supporting the government.
