Yesterday President Bush announced that he will attend the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics. His decision is regrettable -- a missed opportunity for the United States of America to stand strong for the anguished people of Darfur and Burma as well as for the Tibetans in their long struggle...

A current, mini-analysis of conditions in Darfur, eastern Chad and the Central African Republic -- a triangle of human suffering.

I have recently returned from my ninth trip into the region

Darfur: Incomprehensibly, more than five years have passed since the government of Sudan and its proxy killers, Arab...

I have been taking photographs in Darfur, Eastern Chad and the Central African Republic since the early months of the Darfur genocide in 2004. They have appeared in major publications around the world. I have now organized 300 of these photos for public display and use on my website,

I would like to thank the US Mission and Security Council President Ambassador Khalilzad, U.S. Special Envoy Williamson and the members of the Council for inviting me here today and for holding this meeting.

I know you have all just returned from the Darfur region -- and I have...

When International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo stood before the Security Council last week to plead for support for his indictments of two perpetrators of mass atrocities and crimes against humanity in Darfur, who dared to stand strong against the Sudanese regime? Who threw their full support to the...

But what the candidates don't say is this; It is past time that President Bush, who has called the atrocities in Darfur 'genocide' assumes desperately needed moral leadership. He should lead the UN Security Council in standing up to the Sudanese regime, which continues to place every possible obstacle in...

In recent weeks there has been an alarming spike in the violence in Darfur with government bombings in north Darfur where a school and marketplace were attacked leaving more than a dozen civilian dead and many more wounded. Among the those killed were 6 school children. The international community was...

This week marks a grim and largely unnoticed anniversary. On April 27, 2007, International Criminal Court judges issued arrest warrants for two men involved in the massive, ongoing atrocities in the Darfur region of western...

Our campaign, Dream for Darfur has been in dialogue with the Olympic sponsors for nearly a year now. In February Steven Spielberg resigned from his role as artistic director of the Beijing Olympics declaring that in the face of genocide it "cannot be business as usual." Mr. Spielberg's act of...

The following was adapted from my piece in the NY Daily News:

There are few institutions in the world that claim to embody and protect humanity's highest dreams and values. The International Olympic Committee, custodian of the Olympic Games, is one of them.

Any organization that lays claim to...

The dictionary definition of "fail" is "the omission of expected or required action."

I am torn as to whether to discuss the failure of moral leadership by the IOC, or the phenomenon of low expectations.

The Dream for Darfur IOC Report Card documents how the IOC has shirked the messy...

What message has the world sent to the people of Darfur and eastern Chad?

Only that they are completely dispensable I some larger Monopoly game.

Next month I will return to the region.

People will tell me their stories and again they will plead for protection.

I will listen, I...

Imagine a place, outside of history or geography, where people of all ages enjoy a magnificent happiness -- a rich, sustained, even ecstatic happiness. Ursula LeGuin has described this place in her haunting story, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas."

What we learn in this story is that the...

The violence is escalating in Darfur: in recent weeks the refugees in Kalma camp, population 90,000, were attacked by the Sudanese army with mortars and machine guns, displaced persons in Otash camp were forcibly and violently moved into the desert -- a highly insecure environment. Oxfam publicly expressed concern...

This is an interesting op-ed which appeared in today's WSJ. Encouraging on the surface but let's be very clear -- China alone continues to support Khartoum's resistance to the troop/civilian police contributions proposed by the UN DPKO (and now, finally, accepted by the African Union). Such resistance is the...

As Khartoum's largest and closest business partner, China has provoked outrage from the international community for underwriting genocide in Darfur. In recent months, Beijing has responded with steadily increasing talk about its commitment to promoting peace in the region. But it has taken no meaningful action.

Beijing apparently has two...

Jimmy Carter has, over his lifetime, earned our respect on many issues. His moral authority makes his current statements about the Khartoum cabal all the more disappointing, offensive, arrogant and unconscionably ignorant. Darfur is still ablaze and looking more like Somalia by the day. Darfurians dream of returning home and...

My first visit to Darfur was in 2004. It changed the way I needed to live my life. I have just returned from my seventh trip to the region. I don't think I have the words to adequately represent what I have seen and heard there.

Incomprehensibly, it...

In attempting to understand UN Darfur Resolution 1769 it is helpful to look at the draft as it evolved. Doing so has left me with some worrying thoughts.

The fact that the resolution lost some of its sharper teeth early on, combined with Khartoum's history of placing stumbling blocks in...

Suleiman Jamous is a man of indisputable moral integrity who has provided life saving humanitarian access through volatile rebel territories. He is responsible for saving tens of thousands of lives.

The head of a prominent aid organization who asked that he not be named, said, "There is no doubt that...
