Without the food, water, and medicine provided by aid groups, millions of vulnerable men, women, and children in Darfur and throughout Sudan face starvation and disease. Act now to get these agencies urgently reinstated. The alternative is unthinkable.

Genocide develops in eight stages that are predictable but not inexorable. At each stage, preventive measures can stop it. The process is not linear. Logically, later stages must be preceded by earlier stages. All stages operate throughout the process.

The UN should condemn attacks on civilians, investigate responsibility for the attacks, impose targeted sanctions on the responsible individuals, facilitate the deployment of UNAMID, and support the ICC's investigation of Omar al-Bashir for war crimes.

Omar al-Bashir, the president of Sudan, is succeeding admirably in making a mockery of the International Criminal Court and its arrest warrent for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. Bashir has paid no attention, traveling regularly.

Nowhere was the failure of the ICC's action against the Sudanese president for war crimes in Darfur more evident than at this week's summit of the Arab League, where Bashir, despite being charged with crimes against humanity, received a hero's welcome.
