UNITED NATIONS \u2014 Allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation in U.N. peacekeeping and political missions topped 100 for the third time in the last 10 years in 2024, according to a U.N. report released Tuesday, which said 65 of the allegations involved women who gave birth after saying they were raped and were seeking child support.<\/p>\n

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in the report to the General Assembly that the allegations identified 125 victims \u2014 98 adults and 27 children. This was fewer than the 145 victims identified in 2023, he said.<\/p>\n

According to the report, two U.N. peacekeeping missions accounted for 82% of the 102 allegations \u2014 Congo with 44 and the Central African Republic with 40. The United Nations has long been in the spotlight over allegations of child rape and other sexual abuses by its peacekeepers, especially by those based in the two African countries.<\/p>\n
