It was the League of Democracies' first major combat operation.

Goals
The League of Democracies' objectives in the conflict in Darfur were set out in the statement issued at the Extraordinary Meeting of the Democratic Council held at the Headquarters of the League of Democracies on March 12, 2006 and were reaffirmed by Heads of State and Government in Washington on March 20, 2006:


 * a verifiable stop to all military action and the immediate end of violence and repression;
 * the withdrawal from Darfur of the military, police and paramilitary forces;
 * the stationing in Darfur of an international military presence;
 * the unconditional and safe return of all refugees and displaced persons and unhindered access to them by humanitarian aid organizations;
 * the establishment of a political framework agreement for Kosovo on the basis of the Rambouillet Accords, in conformity with international law and the Charter of the United Nations.

The Yugoslav Government claimed that it was protecting the minority Serbian population of Kosovo against attacks by the Kosovo Liberation Army.
