Politically, Darfur finds itself at a stalemate.

This stalemate should be overcome.

Although it seems we are still at that impasse, I discern some potential avenues to take us out of it.

It seemed unlikely that an agreement would be reached as long as the political stalemate continued.

First, the Conference on Disarmament (CD) is passing through a prolonged impasse.

We must try to break the deadlock.

What is the reason for this stalemate?

Deadlock in Durban

I don't want to get there and then still feel like a fraud.

That is where we are stuck at the moment, and that is what we must unstick.

Making Sense of the Climate Impasse

The New Transatlantic Stalemate

After six months of going to and fro, we must conclude that there is a stalemate.

Bolivia shared the growing concern at the stalemate in the Conference on Disarmament and the United Nations Disarmament Commission, which had not been able to reach consensus on a substantive agenda for several years.

Breaking the Climate Deadlock

But the deadlock has been broken.

Nuclear disarmament is at an impasse.

There are no signs of this impasse going away because there is no political will amongst key actors to remove it.

The current stalemate has touched off a flurry of threats and recriminations.

The Conference on Disarmament has remained deadlocked, without a programme of work, for almost nine years.

We continue to urge other Conference members to display equal flexibility in our collective efforts to break the deadlock that has persisted for far too long.

So, it was going nowhere.

Syria s Sectarian Stalemate

Focusing political attention on the Conference on Disarmament's deadlock and its negative consequences for our individual and collective security interests is one way to get us out of the rut we are in.

It would also be in keeping with the challenge of the times and could offer us a way out of the deadlock for the CD.

It is a matter of great concern for us that deliberations in the Conference on Disarmament the sole multilateral forum for disarmament negotiations have been stalled for years on end.

The seriousness of the challenges facing the international community makes it imperative that we all make every effort to find a formula that will help us to end the current stalemate.

The Conference on Disarmament remains deadlocked, and the Disarmament Commission has again this year been unable to agree on an agenda.

The delay in reaching agreement between Khartoum and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement has also produced a stalemate in the talks on Darfur.

In order to break the deadlock, one member suggested the convening of an international conference devoted solely to the issue of nuclear disarmament.

This policy is causing gridlock.

The First Committee is an ideal forum in which to discuss possible solutions to the Conference on Disarmament deadlock.

For eight years the Conference on Disarmament has agreed on this agenda, but its discussions have subsequently been totally deadlocked.

So far this year, our record has been one of deadlock and inflexibility.

72. The Committee notes with regret the stalemate in the peace process in the region.

How to make that difference is surely the most important universal truth that it is possible to know.

We are in favour of settling and unblocking the situation regarding the nuclear problem on the Korean peninsula.

But denuclearization negotiations have stalled.

Breaking Europe s Climate Change Stalemate

Sure. Excuse me, miss. I was just trying to make things pleasant.

He depicted the dire humanitarian crisis prevailing in Darfur and the reasons for the persisting stalemate observed on the ground.

The final solution to these blocked situations can only come at a political level, and UNHCR continues to call upon the Governments concerned to focus attention and efforts on resolving them.

These are the arguments we have which cause gridlock.

We need to break the stalemate of the CD.
