Confusion over U.N.'s Darfur Genocide Ruling

By Ed Gordon
Published February 1, 2005 at 11:00 PM CST

The United Nations has released a report that, while acknowledging widespread, targeted violence, nevertheless concludes that a genocide had not occurred. NPR's Ed Gordon explores the contradiction.
