UNITED NATIONS (AN) — Six nations including the United States pushed for more accountability in U.N. peacekeeping operations on Friday at a high-level gathering to review progress on eliminating mismanagement, sexual abuse and other violence.
The meeting at the U.N.'s headquarters in New York was organized by the United States — a permanent U.N. Security Council member that provides US$1.7 billion a year for the U.N.'s US$6.5 billion annual peacekeeping budget — along with peacekeeping contributor nations India, Portugal, Senegal, Uruguay and Vietnam.
