This report, compiled by an aviation expert and endorsed by 36 human rights groups and non-governmental organisations around the world, sets out for the first time data on which countries have suitable helicopters and how many are available for deployment to Darfur. While acknowledging the difficult political and logistical challenges, the report identifies specific countries that have suitable helicopters, sets out how many of these are known to be committed to other missions, how many are required for national use, and how many are being serviced at any one time. Using this data, the report analyzes which countries are best placed to provide the requisite helicopters to UNAMID.
