 GENEVA (AP) - Nobel peace laureate Jody Williams warned the U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday that its credibility would suffer if it refuses to consider a report accusing Sudan of orchestrating atrocities in Darfur.
Williams, who led the U.N. team that wrote the report, rejected criticism from Muslim and African nations on the council that the report lacked credibility because the investigators never visited Darfur. The document was drawn up outside the country after Sudan refused to grant the team visas.
"About credibility — it's not about ours, it's about yours," Williams told the 47-nation council. "If the council chooses not to consider our report ... it will have impact on the credibility of the council but not on this mission."
