Major Brent Beardsley, Gen. Roméo Dallaire's aide in Rwanda, and Detective Sgt. Debbie Bodkin, returned from field work as a UN crime investigator in Chad and Darfur, presented the keynote addresses in the opening morning session on Darfur, the African Union and the responsibility to protect. Panels were presented on the following topics: the options available to resolve the Darfur crisis; the role of the Canadian media in alerting Canadians to ongoing crimes against humanity in Darfur; and Canadian student opportunities for urging solutions to the problems in Sudan. Analysts from non-government organizations, student groups, the media, government and university research centres will make panel presentations. The conference will took place at Concordia University.

It highlights the wasted broadcast time devoted to sensationalist news stories about celebrities in trouble with the law. An analytical table quantifying the major American television networks' paltry attention to Darfur is accessible from this link.
