Some Things Never Change

Although the article I am referencing here is 5 years old, the fact of the matter is addressed in perfect correlation with Darfur today. The United Nations does not consider the atrocities of Darfur to amount to genocide, at least not according to their reasoning. Genocide is defined as a ''systematic killing of a racial or cultural group.'' Does the janjaweed (with direct support from the Sudanese government) targeting and killing over 400, 000 Darfurians, not ''classify'' as a genocide? I have to say that the UN was attempting to conceal their true inadequacies with such a statement, which was evident because of their lack of early concern for the happenings in Darfur. There always must be an evident line, and the United Nations has without doubt, crossed it. The United Nations have made admirable, and effective strides in aiding a variety of worldwide concerns. However, they are indeed not perfect. We all realize, and are competent enough to comprehend that. Now why can't the UN simply admit their faults, and move on?
