So we're calling on Secretary of State Designate Clinton andPresident-elect Obama and the rest of the foreign policy team to embark on apeace surge. We're calling it a peace surge for Sudan. We feel that the time isright, right now, that they can hammer out in the first hundred days anegotiated solution that will end the violence," he says.</p><p height="normal">Bell says that perpetrators of war crimes shouldbe held accountable. Currently, the prosecutor of the ICC, InternationalCriminal Court, has requested arrest warrants for Sudanese president Bashir, aswell as some rebel leaders.</p><p height="normal">He says that the Obama administration shouldcontinue Bush administration policies that reject any normalization ofrelations with Sudan until there is major progress in Darfur. "We lobbied forand pushed for sanctions on the government of Sudan that are helping, we hope,to change the behavior of that government to allow in humanitarian aid, allowin a peacekeeping force."</p><p height="normal">President Bush had appointed aspecial envoy for Sudan, and Bell says that policy should continue as well.
