Denmark sent humanitarian aid to Darfur, during the War in Darfur, and sent 40 - 45 soldiers to Darfur as peacekeepers. During the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, when Amnesty International learned that Denmark had invited the Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, they wanted the Danish Government to arrest him. In December 2011, Denmark contributed 40 million DKK to Sudan.
