UN Commission Calls for Criminal Accountability for South Sudan

Lisa Schlein

   United Nations investigators accuse South Sudanese leaders of
   widespread corruption and of trampling on the rights and fundamental
   freedoms of their people. The U.N. Commission on Human Rights in South
   Sudan presented its latest report to the U.N. Human Rights Council
   Monday.

   The U.N. commission accuses South Sudan's leaders of deliberately
   starving their people while brazenly looting and plundering the
   country's wealth. Commission Chair Yasmin Sooka says these economic
   crimes have dire humanitarian consequences, especially for women and
   children.
