不过，我们也知道，该区域自今年 5 月《达尔富尔和平协议》签署以来出现了许多积极事态发展。我们还知道，苏丹政府作出了值得赞扬的姿态，为处理达尔富尔局势提出了一项涉及多方面的计划。令人遗憾的是，安理会没有采取行动，回应苏丹政府的这项计划；它也没有以修正案的方式提出任何明确建议，尽管该计划中包含了联合国秘书处有关部门认为具有积极意义的许多方面。此外，有关方面也没有作出足够努力来促使苏丹参与，而是对其施加压力，迫使其同意安理会现在已通过的决议。据我们所知，同意与否是自愿的。
Nevertheless, we also know that the region has undergone many positive developments since the signing of the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA), last May. We also know that, in a commendable gesture, Government of the Sudan submitted a multifaceted plan to address the situation in Darfur. Regrettably, the Council did not provide the Government of the Sudan with its response to the plan, nor has it submitted any explicit proposals by way of amendments, despite the fact that the plan included many aspects that have been deemed positive by the relevant department of the United Nations Secretariat. Nor were enough efforts made to engage the Sudan instead of pressuring it into approving the resolution that the Council has now adopted. As far as we know, consent is voluntary.
