The United Nations Security Council has voted to send peacekeepers to the war-ravaged Darfur region of Sudan, after months of wrangling.
Up to 26,000 troops and police will make up the world's largest peacekeeping force, under a joint UN and African Union mandate.
Under the new resolution, the first peacekeeping troops will begin arriving in October.
