Conflict in South Sudan: A Human Rights Report

The United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) issued on 8 May 2014 a thorough analysis titled "Conflict in South Sudan: A Human Rights Report."  It concludes that from the outset of the violence in December 2013, gross violations of human rights and serious violations of humanitarian law have occurred on a massive scale.  Civilians were not only caught up in the violence, they were directly targeted, often along ethnic lines.
