Abstract
The conflict that is currently occurring in Darfur is one of the gravest and of the most disastrous the United Nations Organization (UNO) has had to deal with. It's a very complex conflict to understand, because of the diversity of its causes and of its explanations. It is also, therefore, a very difficult issue to solve for the UNO. Moreover, the Security Council is divided on the Resolutions on to take in order to bring the atrocities that are occurring there to an end, as the views of the idealist have to deal with the realist ones. The diversity of the origins of Darfur's crisis will be presented in this article, in order to understand the complexity of this international issue and the difficulty to solve it. Darfur is the theatre of atrocities that seems to come from another age. The question however, is how the crises may be defined; whether they constitute "genocide" or are less grave violations of human rights. Are the persecutions that are occurring there, organized or approved by the Islamist dictatorship of Sudan, or are they based on political, religious or racial reasons?
