Three months after a French charity tried to fly a group of children out of Chad, the Republic of Congo has lifted a ban on international adoptions. The ban went into effect on October 31st as a "preventative measure."

"At least one human rights group in Republic of Congo has been calling for action on suspected child trafficking in the country since August. The head of that group, Loamba Moke, said he was glad the government was taking action to assure the safety of adopted children, but called for tougher laws in the prosecution of child trafficking networks."

Workers from the French charity Zoe's Ark have been sentenced to eight years in jail as a result of the incident. Read more at IHT.com.
