In other sections of its annual report, Amnesty said that Sudan has seen the worst human rights abuses over the past year. This is Amnesty International’s Secretary General Irene Khan. In 2004 the most publicized case of inaction was Darfur. The government of Sudan betrayed the rights of its own people by launching a campaign of rape, killings, destruction and displacement. But the UN also betrayed them by doing too little, too late. The people of Darfur were held hostage to China’s oil interest, to Russia’s arms trade and to the U.S.’s aversion to the international criminal court.”
