We're from the UN and we're here to help.
The BBC reported:
Children as young as six are being sexually abused by peacekeepers and aid workers, says a leading UK charity.Previously:
Children in post-conflict areas are being abused by the very people drafted into such zones to help look after them, says Save the Children.
The most shocking aspect of this abuse is that most of it goes unreported and unpunished, a new report argues, with children too scared to speak out.
The UN has said it welcomes the report, which it will study closely.
A 13-year-old girl described to the BBC how 10 UN peacekeepers gang-raped her in a field near her Ivory Coast home, and left her bleeding, trembling and vomiting on the ground.
No action has been taken against the soldiers.

Of course the media ignores it, the soldiers were not American.
ReplyDeleteI agree with PatCA. From what country did these so called UN peacekeepers hail? Why the hell does the UN put up with this barbaric behaviour? It's not like this is the first time or the only country that UN peacekeepers have behaved in this manner.
ReplyDeleteSome time back I remember a report on a country in Africa, that I saw on one of the dinosaur media channels. The report named a certain UN official from Europe, I believe France, who was caught in a sting to stop child prostitution in that country. I don't know what happened after he was caught. He probably invoked diplomatic immunity.
And after all this, so many still see the UN as a moral authority. OUTRAGEOUS!!

Golly. This will surely get as much front page, weeks long attention as Abu Ghraib did!
ReplyDeleteNot that the U.N. is the darling of the leftist-utopian globalist tools, or anything....
Watch it you, guys. You do not have the full story. This post and the related comments smack of UNAPHOBIA! The UN, like Islam, is beyond criticism. Never forget that the UN must Not be criticized. The UN is sacred, like Islam.

Did a little searching around the net and here is what I am finding.
ReplyDeleteThe UN missions, in general and not just this one, have a small set of military observers and officers in charge and then a much larger force under them they supervise.
The Ivory Coast mission is roughly 70 or so officers and about 150 observers with about 8000 authorized working under them from the latest reports I can find.
Now the rub is the 8000 are 'police' type level people and they seem to be contracted personnel not specific to any country , including the nation in charge of the particular mission.
For example the Ivory Coast stuff I have run across has the French in charge but the boots on the ground seem to be contracted from all around Africa with an amazing mix of nationalities represented.
The information is not in one place and it takes a lot of following UN resolution numbers and such all around multiple sites and news sources and NGOs to develop a reasonable picture of what is involved here.
This mission seems to be split as follows.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lead UN guy in country similar to a country ambassador in in purpose. Under him you have a small diplomatic mission, a humanitarian mission and the military leg if needed.
Other than the mission in my prior post there is a higher trained contractor set of around 300 whose job is to protect leaders of the local government and the rebel commanders as both sides work toward disarming and holding monitored elections.
This rebel activity has only been going on about 8 months before this mission was sent in on a 6 month tour that has yet to be reauthorized or extended.
I don't see any organized contractors like say BlackWater or anybody like that being named, but I did come across several schools which offer training for certification for employment in the UN missions for ground level people. Mostly they seem to be glorified rent a cops is the impression I get.
I ran across some NGO reports that said the UN over the last 5 or 6 years has had about 300 reported sex abuse incidents and in about 3/4 of the cases the people involved were simply returned to their country of origin and blacklisted from any later jobs as a UN ground force.
Redacted.
ReplyDeleteYour tax dollars at work. The US supplies the largest part of the UN budget. We are paying to send rapists and perverts across the world.
