United Nations Security Council Resolution 1679, adopted unanimously on May 16, 2006, after recalling resolutions 1556 (2004), 1564 (2004), 1574 (2004), 1590 (2005), 1591 (2005), 1593 (2005), 1663 (2005) and 1665 (2006) on the situation in Sudan, the Council endorsed a decision by the African Union Peace and Security Council to move ahead with a United Nations peacekeeping force in Darfur as soon as possible.
After the adoption of Resolution 1679, China said it would not support any further resolutions against Sudan under Chapter VII authority, unless approval of the Sudanese government was obtained.
In the preamble of the resolution, the Council expressed concern over the consequences of the prolonged conflict in Darfur on the civilian population and reiterated that all parties had to end the violence immediately. There was also concern that the conflict may affect the rest of Sudan and neighbouring Chad, with the Council noting the deteriorating relations between the two countries.
