The United Nations Mission in Sudan said it will take seriously the findings of a report by UK Charity Save the Children which alleged child abuses committed by UN aid personnel and peacekeepers.

The Spokesman of the Mission Zerrouk Kouider told Miraya FM that the UN has a clear policy in the cases of sexual abuse, adding that the UN is taking measures against anybody convicted in these actions.

The UNMIS Spokesman said the mission in southern Sudan lacks enough information on the report but it will deal seriously with it.

A report by the UK charity Save the Children indicated that some UN aid workers in southern Sudan, Ivory Coast and Haiti have abused children.

The charity called for setting up an international mechanism to deal with these cases in the post conflict areas.
