UNITED NATIONS, June 12 (UPI) -- Groups in Syria, Yemen and Sudan Tuesday were added to the United Nations' "list of shame" naming 52 parties guilty of "grave violations" against children.
The list, intended to shame those who "recruit and use children, kill and maim, commit sexual violence or attack schools and hospitals," shows a "mixed picture" for 2011, Radhika Coomaraswamy, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's special representative for Children and Armed Conflict, said in a release.
