"The UN Security Council passed the measure, but only after the US, which threatened to veto the resolution entirely, insisted that sections promising “sexual and reproductive health” assistance by UN bodies to survivors of sexual violence were removed.
Diplomats said it considered the long-agreed phrase as code for increasing abortion rights.
The veto threat was the latest in a string of policy reversals some UN officials say have been driven by US vice-president Mike Pence, who is known to staunchly oppose abortion rights."
