UN resolution urges accountability for attacks on peacekeepers

June 23 (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution aimed at strengthening accountability for attacks on U.N. peacekeepers, amid concern over rising violence and low prosecution rates.The move follows a series of deadly incidents targeting U.N. personnel, including the killing of seven peacekeepers serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon after a fresh round of fighting broke out between Israel and Hezbollah in early March. The resolution, drafted by Denmark and Pakistan and co-sponsored by 152 countries, passed unanimously.
