UN Idle as Atrocities Strike South Sudan

In an article in The Guardian titled "UN Accused of Shocking Lack of Action Over Murder and Rape in South Sudan", the United Nations is being accused of non-action in large accounts of murder and rape in South Sudan. One woman quoted in the article states, "If I came to the clinic every time I was raped, I would be here everyday." Apparently, violence, and particularly sexual violence, is rampant in South Sudan. Further in the article, it states that forced cannibalism is common practice. It seems to me that the United Nations is falling short on their promises to fight against atrocities such as these.
