In this photo taken Tuesday, April 29, 2014 and released by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) on Wednesday, April 30, 2014, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, center, accompanied by Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide Adama Dieng, left, meets with South Sudan's former Vice President and now rebel leader Riek Machar, right, at an undisclosed location in South Sudan. The U.N.'s top official for human rights told a news conference in South Sudan's capital Juba on Wednesday that the country is on the verge of catastrophe because of a deadly mix of recrimination, hate speech and revenge killings since December and that she is appalled by the apparent lack of concern by leaders in South Sudan over the risk of a potential famine.

In this image taken from video, dead bodies lie on the road near Bentiu, South Sudan, on Sunday, April 20, 2014. The United Nations' top humanitarian official in South Sudan, Toby Lanzer, told The Associated Press in a phone interview on Tuesday, April 22, 2014, that the ethnically targeted killings are "quite possibly a game-changer" for a conflict that has been raging since mid-December and that has exposed longstanding ethnic hostilities. There was also a disturbing echo of Rwanda, which is marking the 20th anniversary this month of its genocide that killed 1 million people. (AP Photo/Toby Lanzer, United Nations)
