The UN chief's annual report to the council for the first time includes a list of persistent violators including Somalia's transitional government, Congo's armed forces, Myanmar's army, and rebel groups in Congo, Myanmar, the Philippines, Colombia, Sudan and Uganda.

The report circulated Friday names of two parties that try to maim or kill children in conflict — Somalia's government and Al-Shabab militants trying to overthrow it. And it names seven parties that commit rape and sexual violence, six in Congo and one in Uganda.
