The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has told African leaders that he's outraged1 by the use of rape2 as a weapon of war. He said he was appointing a special representative to intensify3 efforts to stop sexual violence against women and children in conflict areas. His nominee4, the Swedish politician Margot Wallstrom, said rape was a problem affecting the whole world.
"Some people say that this is the least punished crime in the world, and I also want to underline that it is not only a problem in Africa. And I would of course have to look at what areas to prioritize, but I think it's important to say that this is not a problem only in Africa."
Aid workers in Haiti say some of the children identified as orphans5, who were being taken out of the country by a group of Americans, appear to have surviving relatives. The Americans from an Idaho-based church are under arrest in Port-au-Prince. From Haiti, Rupert Wingfield-Hayes.
The Americans now in detention6 in Port-au-Prince have insisted from the outset that all 33 of the children they were trying to take out of the country are orphans in desperate need of love and protection. But a spokesman for the international charity group that is now looking after the children says at least one of them appears to have parents. George Willeit, the spokesman for SOS in Port-au-Prince told journalists the little girl had cried and told them that she did have parents and that she thought she was being taken to a boarding school or summer camp. Mr Willeit said many of the children were also in poor health - they were hungry and dehydrated.
