(Al Jazeera) – A United Nations Security Council committee blacklisted Ugandan group, the Allied Democratic Forces, on Monday for recruitment and use of child soldiers, killing, maiming and sexually abusing women and children, and attacks on U.N. peacekeepers. Council diplomats said the group, which has been sheltering in volatile eastern Democratic Republic of Congo since the mid-’90s, would now be subjected to an arms embargo, asset freeze and travel ban under the United Nations sanctions regime imposed on Congo.
