The UN chief tells a Security Council debate on  peacebuilding in Africa he’s appalled by the scale of sexual violence documented by human rights teams.

He says the UN  demands accountability for all atrocities and that the leaders of South Sudan should commit to the peace process.

The secretary-general said that instability also persists in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Libya and Mali.,

Despite praise for the Peacebuilding Fund in the recent peace and security reviews, Ban says it faces a desperate funding shortfall.
