United Nations peacekeepers are now facing allegations of sexual abuse within the Central African Republic involving for underage girls.
The UN mission in CAR, known as MINUSCA, said that it received the claims on Monday and has asked the countries whose troops were allegedly involved in the abuse to investigate.
It is UN policy not to disclose the countries whose peacekeepers were accused of sexual abuse, the UN did not say where the peacekeepers were from.
It is up to the country contributing troops to investigate and prosecute the soldiers.
In December, a panel condemned the UN response to the sexual abuse allegations, saying the international body failed to properly evaluate peacekeepers for past abuses and needed to do more to protect children.
The UN has been under fire by allegations last year that French and African troops forced children to perform sexual acts in exchange for food, from December 2013 to June 2014.
