In the coming days, President Barack Obama will be presented with an opportunity to tackle a foreign policy challenge frequently raised on the campaign trail: the human rights crisis in Darfur.

Authored by Mr. Raj Purohit, who teaches at American University Law School and is an expert in international law and Mr. Howard Salter who is a strategic communications specialist, and previously served as a Senior Public Affairs Officer at USAID in the Clinton Administration.

In September 2001, when President Bush received a memo summarizing the Clinton administration´s inaction during the Rwanda genocide, he wrote in its margin, "Not on my watch." Now, almost eight years after penning these four resolute words, it is arguable whether his legacy on t...
