U.N. Details Sexual Abuse Claims Against Troops

The United Nations disclosed new details on Thursday about a series of sexual abuse allegations against its peacekeepers in the Central African Republic, saying that nine of the 13 cases reported in the past year involved children as young as 11 and that no one had yet been convicted.
The disclosures were made in a video news conference held with Diane Corner, the United Nations deputy head of the peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic’s capital, Bangui.
