Khartoum should know that there will be consequences if it continues to hold the whole international community hostage to its whims.
Khartoum is not concerned with it, because Khartoum is the culprit who's doing it.
And it's exploiting now the weaknesses in their Resolution 1706, exploiting it to the end, because there is no consequences that Khartoum could fear would happen to it if it rejected the resolution.

  UN Security Council Resolution 242 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The resolution is the formula proposed by the Security Council for the successful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict, in particular, ending the state of belligerency then existing between Egypt, Jordan and Syria versus Israel.
The resolution's most important feature is the "land for peace" formula, calling for Israeli withdrawal from territories it had occupied in 1967 in exchange for peace with its neighbors.
The UN resolution, however, did serve as a basis for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations (Palestinians being represented by the PLO) that led to the Oslo Accords.

The council also unanimously voted for a resolution urging Khartoum and the SPLM/A to reach a final peace accord quickly, and promising financial support to help Sudan rebuild after conflicts in the country were brought to an end.
The resolution noted that peace in southern Sudan would help resolve conflict in the western Darfur region, where a scorched earth campaign by government forces and Arab militias has led to 70,000 deaths and the displacement of about 1.5 million people.
Resolution 1574 threatens unspecified action against parties which continue with acts of violence in Darfur, (on Thursday, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan noted that government, militias and rebels were all in contravention of a ceasefire signed in April).

 The Militant - September 28, 2004 -- U.S. gov’t uses Darfur crisis to threaten Sudan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Khartoum is on Washington’s list of so-called failed states as part of the “war on terror” through which U.S. imperialism seeks to strengthen its domination of the Mideast, as well as Africa and other parts of the world, at the expense of its rivals.
It also calls for the establishment of a UN commission of inquiry to determine whether Khartoum and the militias are responsible for genocide.
The resolution leaves open the size of the force, but Jan Pronk, the UN special envoy to Sudan, said that it should be at least 5,000 troops, reported the New York Times.

 Arab FMs rally around Sudan in Darfur crisis -DAWN - International; 09 August, 2004
The resolution, passed on July 30, gave Khartoum 30 days to resolve the humanitarian crisis in the western region or face possible sanctions.
Khartoum has notably agreed to disarm government-allied Arab militias, called Janjaweed, accused of atrocities in Darfur, and an African Union (AU) team backed by 300 security personnel is already monitoring a shaky truce.
The draft resolution urges Arab countries to "totally support the African Union in its efforts to resolve the crisis" and calls especially on those who are AU member states "to participate effectively in the team of ceasefire observers and the protection forces of this team".

Despite Khartoum’s insistence that the two situations are different, an understanding of what has worked in the Kenya negotiations may provide the tools to fix what is broken in the Abuja talks.

The resolution is the formula proposed by the Security Council for the successful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict, in particular, Israel's mutual belligerency with Egypt, Jordan and Syria.
The resolution's most important feature is the "land for peace" formula, which implies Israeli withdrawal from territories it had captured in exchange for peace agreements with its neighbors.
This was one of the declared reasons why PLO didn't accept the resolution until 1988; another was the refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist in accord with the Khartoum Resolution of September 1, 1967.

 Darfur: The Final Decision :: sudanreeves.org :: Sudan Research, Analysis, and Advocacy
If Khartoum should, despite all evidence, be bluffing in its present refusal to accept a robust UN peacekeeping force, then the primary negotiating goal will be measured not in terms of “carrots” and “sticks”; it will be defined by an effort to determine the mandate, nature, and time-table of the deploying UN force.
The force currently contemplated in the UN resolution is a minimum, and in the judgment of many military experts is still inadequate to the force requirements for the difficult and remote Darfur region---certainly if Khartoum creates a “non-permissive” environment for deployment.
Khartoum is, of course, more than pleased that there will be no AU presence in those areas where military activity is destined to accelerate rapidly when the planned offensive begins.

 Daily Press Briefing -- September 5
I also would note that the African Union has made it very clear that it is their position that the AU force that is currently in Sudan should be rolled over and turned into a blue-hatted force.
But Resolution 1696 makes very clear that if Iran failed to meet the deadline of October 31st in suspending it's enrichment-related activities that the Council was prepared for vote for Chapter 7, Article 41 sanctions.
Now the resolution lays out the framework and certain principles, then you get down to the hard work of implementing Security Council resolutions and we knew that that would require a lot of diplomacy and a lot of work.

Khartoum reacted angrily to the UN resolution adopted Tuesday, which allows for the seizure of assets and a travel ban against individuals who commit atrocities, impede the peace process in Darfur or "constitute a threat to stability."
The U.S.-sponsored resolution was "unbalanced and inappropriate" and "ignored the government's efforts in addressing the political, security and humanitarian aspects of the Darfur conflict," a Foreign Ministry statement said.
The resolution also extended an arms embargo against nonstate parties in Darfur to the Sudanese government and specifically prohibited Khartoum from offensive military flights into the region.

The resolution, agreed on Thursday, says the deployment would only take place with the agreement of the Sudanese government, which remains opposed to UN intervention.
Although the security council cannot take significant action on the resolution until Sudan reverses its opposition to a UN force, the US and Britain, the two original sponsors of the resolution, hope the vote will help put new pressure on Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese president, to acquiesce.
The resolution would place peacekeeping authority for the Darfur mission into the hands of a separate UN force already deployed in Sudan's south.

The subsequant failure of the UN to pressure the Arab states to negotiate with Israel based on UN Resolution 242 further eroded Israel's faith in the world body as a viable source of stability and assistance.
The resolution was adopted despite strong opposition by Israel's supporters, most notably the United States delegation under the leadership of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then the United States Ambassador to the UN.

For example, they cite UN General Assembly Resolution 194, which calls for refugees wishing to live in peace with their neighbors to be allowed to return to their homes, or to receive compensation if they don't wish to return.
However, supporters of the Israeli position point out that General Assembly resolutions have no impact in International law, and in any event doubt that the refugees wish to "live in peace with their neighbors".

 UN resolution greeted by Khartoum’s new Darfur offensive
But of course Khartoum has been far from “silent”; and in every comment and action it has been the very opposite of acquiescent or consensual; and China has certainly not forgotten language in the resolution guaranteeing “strong commitment to the sovereignty [of Sudan].” Bolton’s assertion is a foolish effort to dignify US impotence.
While the peacekeeping force detailed in the resolution holds the potential to mitigate vast human destruction and to provide critical security for civilians and humanitarians, this potential will be realized only if there is sufficient international commitment to the UN force contemplated, and political will to act without Khartoum’s consent.
This headline is of ominous significance, given Khartoum’s vicious contempt for the investigations of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and its refusal to grant access to ICC investigators (many of the most senior NIF genocidaires are on the confidential list of 51 names referred to the ICC for investigation by a UN Commission of Inquiry).
