DRC: UN committee approves draft resolution on human rights

A UN General Assembly committee ended its session on Monday in New York, approving draft resolutions on human rights in three countries, among them the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Under the draft's terms, the UN General Assembly would condemn the continuing violations of human rights and international law in the Congo, and condemn all massacres and reported perpetration of acts of mutilation and cannibalism, cases of summary or arbitrary executions as well as the continuing recruitment and use of child soldiers.
