Human Rights Watch's director of emergencies, Peter Bouckaert, is on the ground in the Central African Republic. The violence shows no sign of abating as the desperate situation is "getting worse", according to UN human rights chief Navi Pillay. The EU has decided to send a force to the beleaguered country to join African and French troops. However, what's ultimately needed is a UN mission.
