Roleplay of DRC Negotiations 12-5-02 Briefly stated, Rwanda and Uganda prefer to stay away from discussing humanitarian issues. In fact, they are opposed to solving these issues because they need the strife and disorder to keep their own people in DRC and maintain power. MAIN OBJECTIVES • Urge the DRC to more forcefully disarm the interhamwe and the ALiR. • Put a representative from RCD-Goma as one of the four vice presidents. • Oppose the Kimberly process
United Nations BACKGROUND TEAM SCENE SETTER Roleplay of DRC Negotiations 12-5-02 The United Nations has been a major player in the DRC for a long time. In July 1960, just after Congolese independence was declared, the UN Secretary-General received a telegram from the leaders of the newly formed state asking for military aid. The UN was faced with a complete breakdown of civil order in the DRC that threatened people as well as property interests. The role of the UN has been scaled back, but is still important. The United Nations peacekeeping force, MONUC, has been in the DRC since November 30, 1999 and continues to the present. MONUC has 5,537 personnel, including military personnel and 500 observers. The stated goals of MONUC are to implement the Lusaka ceasefire agreement, work with all parties to release prisoners of war, facilitate humanitarian assistance and abolish land mines among other tasks. The UN seeks a peaceful solution to the conflict in the DRC, but realizes it cannot commit troops to large-scale intervention and monitoring. One UN estimate stated that at lease 100,000 troops would be needed to bring stability to the DRC. This is a number that the UN has not been willing or able to commit to. The UN has had its share of setbacks in the DRC. In June 2002, a group of armed rebels from the RCD reportedly assaulted a guard and abducted two UN staff members. The staff members were assaulted and interrogated, but later returned. The UN has an interest in working to promote peace in the DRC, not only for humanitarian reasons, but also to promote economic growth and help the DRC become a regional power and lessen the role of the UN in Central Africa.
