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.

As Western governments vowed to impose more sanctions against Russia and its supporters in eastern Ukraine, a group of foreign military observers remained in captivity Saturday accused of being NATO spies by a pro-Russian insurgency. The German-led, eight-member team was traveling under the auspices of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe when they were detained Friday. (AP Photo/Alexander Zemlianichenko)

India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Partyâs prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi displays the victory symbol to supporters after casting his vote in Ahmadabad, India, Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Modi's carefully crafted and well-financed campaign presents him as a can-do politician who has turned his home state of Gujarat into a haven for business and industry, and has pledged to bolster India's growth. His image has been tainted by the 2002 sectarian violence that ripped through his home state, killing nearly 1,000 Muslims. Modi, who has been chief minister of the state since 2001, is widely seen as doing little to stop the violence, and his fiercest critics have accused him of organizing the bloodshed.
