Leaked UN report documents Cote d'Ivoire rights nightmare
Bernard Hibbitts at 3:53 PM ET
[JURIST] The French newspaper Liberation said Friday that an unpublished UN report it has obtained catalogues a plethora of major rights abuses in the conflict-wracked African state of Cote d'Ivoire over the past two years, including mass execution, torture and rape of women and children. The report says that many offenses were filmed by French and UN peacekeepers and contains a "secret" list of 200 individuals who could be subject to war crimes charges, general prosecution or UN sanctions. The Liberation article in French is here. BBC News has more.
