UN sexual allegations double

BBC

Allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation by UN staff more than doubled last year, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has said in a report.

Most of the allegations, which include rape, sexual assault and sex with minors, involved UN peacekeepers.

Mr Annan says he is "deeply troubled" by the increase.

On Friday, four Nepalese soldiers flew home to face sex abuse charges. They served with the UN in DR Congo, where claims of misconduct arose in 2003.
