UN Reports Rampant Sexual Abuse in Darfur

Wash Post: According to a UN report on sexual violence in the troubled Sudanese province, Sudanese security forces and other armed groups continue to rape, gang rape and abuse displaced women in Darfur with impunity. The victims are routinely subjected to humiliating treatment at the hands of the authorities if they say they have been raped. Sudanese police frequently fail to register or investigate sex crimes, and courts sometimes try rape victims as adulteresses if they cannot prove they are telling the truth. Will something be done to stop this? It is mass rape. How can this not count as crimes against humanity?
