DRAFT RESOLUTION 
---------------- 
¶2. The Security Council, 
 
Recalling its previous resolutions and statements of its 
President concerning Sudan, 
 
Reaffirming its commitment to the sovereignty, unity, 
independence and territorial integrity of Sudan, and 
recalling the importance of the principles of good 
neighbourliness, non-interference and cooperation in the 
relations among States in the region, 
 
Stressing again its firm commitment to the cause of peace 
throughout Sudan, full implementation of the Comprehensive 
Peace Agreement of 9 January 2005, full implementation of the 
framework agreed between the parties for a resolution of the 
conflict in Darfur (the Darfur Peace Agreement), and an end 
to the violence and atrocities in Darfur, 
 
Reiterating the importance of promoting a political process 
to restore peace and stability in Darfur, and strongly urging 
those parties who have not yet agreed to participate in 
negotiations to do so immediately and all parties to the 
conflict to engage fully and constructively in the process 
and to cooperate with the African Union/United Nations Chief 
Mediator Djibril Bassole, 
 
Reiterating its belief in the basis provided by the Darfur 
Peace Agreement for a lasting political solution and 
sustained security in Darfur, deploring that the Agreement 
has not been fully implemented by the signatories and not 
signed by all parties to the conflict in Darfur, 
 
Noting with strong concern the ongoing violence, impunity, 
and consequent deterioration of the humanitarian aid 
situation and humanitarian workers' lack of access to 
populations in need, and calling upon all parties in Darfur 
to cease offensive actions immediately and to refrain from 
further violent attacks, 
 
Demanding that there should be no aerial bombings nor the use 
in Darfur, by any party to the conflict, of white aircraft or 
aircraft with marking resembling those on United Nations 
aircraft, and demanding that the parties to the conflict 
exercise restraint and cease military action, 
 
Demanding an immediate and complete cessation by all parties 
to armed conflict of all acts of sexual violence against 
civilians in line with resolution 1820 (2008). 
 
Commending the efforts of, and reiterating its full support 
for, the joint African Union/United Nations Chief Mediator of 
the African Union, the United Nations Secretary-General, and 
the leaders of the region to promote peace and stability in 
Darfur, looking forward to the full and rapid deployment of 
the African Union/United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID), 
and expressing strong support for the political process under 
the African Union/United Nations-led mediation, 
 
Welcoming the announcement from the Department of 
Peacekeeping Operations of its intention to develop 
guidelines to enhance cooperation and information sharing 
between UN peacekeeping missions and the Security Council's 
Sanctions Committees' expert panels. 
 
Recalling the 30 April 2009 midterm report by the Panel of 
Experts appointed by the Secretary-General pursuant to 
paragraph 3 (b) of resolution 1591 (2005) and extended by 
subsequent resolutions, and taking note of the Panel's final 
report (S/2009/xxx), and expressing its intent to study the 
Panel's recommendations further and to consider appropriate 
next steps, 
 
Emphasizing the need to respect the provisions of the Charter 
concerning privileges and immunities, and the Convention on 
the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, as 
applicable to United Nations operations and persons engaged 
in such operations, 
 
Determining that the situation in Sudan continues to 
constitute a threat to international peace and security in 
the region, 
 
Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, 
 
¶1.    Decides to extend until 15 October 2010 the mandate of

(a) of resolution 1591 (2005) and a final report no later

Council with its findings and recommendations; 
 
¶3.    Requests the Panel of Experts to coordinate it 
activities as appropriate with the operations of the African 
Union/United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID), and with 
international efforts to promote the political process in 
Darfur, and to assess in its interim and final reports 
progress towards reducing violations by all parties of the 
measures imposed by paragraphs 7 and 8 of resolution 1556 
(2004) and paragraph 7 of resolution 1591 (2005), and 
progress towards removing impediments to the political 
process, threats to stability in Darfur and the region and 
other violations of the above-mentioned resolutions; 
 
¶4.    Urges all States, relevant United Nations bodies, the 
African Union and other interested parties, to cooperate 
fully with the Committee and the Panel of Experts, in 
particular by supplying any information at their disposal on 
implementation of the measures imposed by resolution 1591
