UN 'to protect children from war'
The UN Security Council has unanimously
approved a resolution aimed at
protecting children in armed conflict.
The council agreed to monitor more than
50 governments and rebel groups accused
of violating children's rights and
punish those who did not stop.
Abuses include killing or maiming
children, using child soldiers and
sexual violence against children.
In February a list was made of states
and rebel groups involved in 11
conflicts who did not protect children.
