Today’s Washington Post features an article by Eve Ensler about the infuriating fact that the U.N. has failed miserably in confronting sexual violence as a weapon of war. The piece reports that while rape as a weapon of war has increased in eastern Congo since June 2008, the number of criminal prosecutions has only risen marginally. Disgusting, right? And only low-ranking soldiers are being prosecuted for rape crime while no commanders or officers above the rank of major have been held responsible in all of Congo. Yet the UN claims their work to help the conflict in the Congo has been successful. Clearly not enough has been done. Ensler urges President Obama and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to “push for measures to end impunity and to carve out an enduring peace through careful diplomacy for the people of Congo.”
