A new United Nations report on Sudan has criticized the government and its militia of systematically abusing and killing civilians in the Darfur region. But the report falls short of accusing the Sudanese government of committing genocide. The commission did conclude that some individuals carried out acts with genocidal intent”. Over the past two years, at least 70,000 people have been killed and more than two million people have been forced to become refugees. The United Nations investigators called for the perpetrators to be tried by the International Criminal Court in the Hague. But the Bush administration, which opposes the international court, wants the United Nations to set up a separate tribunal to hear the case.
