(35 minutes later)
A new United Nations report says 69 allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse were reported in 10 peacekeeping missions in 2015 and calls for on-site courts-martial of the accused and DNA testing to identify them. The report for the first time provides the names of all countries whose troops are said to be involved. Nearly one-third of the 2015 allegations — 22 — are from the mission in the Central African Republic. The mission in Congo has 16 cases, followed by the Haiti mission with nine allegations, Liberia and Ivory Coast, each with six allegations, Mali with five, and Abyei, Sudan, and Cyprus with one each. The joint United Nations-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur, Sudan, had two allegations and the mission in East Timor, now closed, had one.
