The resolution, which is expected to be adopted by consensus on December 14, 2007 rewards Khartoum’s failure to take the steps to address the Darfur crisis identified by a group of experts appointed by the council.

Child Soldier Global Report 2001
From the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers
Grenada, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Saint Vincent and Grenadine and Saint Kitts and Nevis have police forces only, although some paramilitary training is provided for special units. The police are generally organised and supervised according to British law enforcement practices. None of these Caribbean states has a system of conscription into security forces and, therefore, recruitment is on a voluntary basis only.

Saint Kitts and Nevis: Landmine Monitor Report 2000
Saint Kitts and Nevis signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997 and ratified on 2 December 1998. The treaty entered into force for Saint Kitts and Nevis on 1 June 1999. It has not yet enacted domestic implementing legislation. Saint Kitts and Nevis' Article 7 transparency report, due 27 November 1999, was submitted to the UN on 16 May 2000. The delay was due to illness and subsequent death of UN Ambassador Lee L. Moore.162 In a letter to the Landmine Monitor, Mrs. Astona Browne, Chargé d'affaires of the Permanent Mission of Saint Kitts and Nevis to the United Nations, wrote, "We applaud your organization for its initiative in raising the awareness of the global community with regards to the global landmine situation, humanitarian mine action, and compliance with the Mine Ban Treaty."
