The Sudanese government needs to bring war criminals to justice, not recruit them into positions of responsibility.

The strategy of putting justice on hold for an elusive peace settlement has emboldened human rights abusers on both sides of the conflict. This approach has fueled a pervasive culture of impunity that has led to ever-increasing acts of violence against civilians.

The government is deepening its crackdown in Ethiopia's rural areas, far from the eyes and ears of international observers.

Last wars people fought against military and political dictatorships; next wars center on corporate dictatorships.

The United Nations and the African Union should address the human cost of allowing impunity to flourish in Côte d'Ivoire.
