As for the neighbouring area, since it’s mentioned near the end of this article, a related fact from wikipedia:
More often than not, ethnic disputes are just leverage used by people in power to achieve their goals.

Seconded, although it’s not like gangs of criminals gang-raping innocent people is a phenomenon that demands a nuanced explanation. It’s possible that they did it because they had guns, and they wanted to. There are places in India where criminal gangs operate freely.
The conflict was triggered when the state High Court gave a verdict in favour of the Meiti community for a long standing demand for special previliges.
The Wikipedia article about the violence has a good overview.
It’s an ethinic conflict that erupted a few months ago and has escalated since.
Anyone able to think of a good argument for explicitly requiring this? I’m having trouble thinking of why you’d call this out in the standards unless, you know, you are a fan of slavery…
