UN Troops Face More Child Abuse Claims
Remember, this is the organization that leftists uphold, and believe we should let dictate our foreign policy:Children have been subjected to rape and prostitution by United Nations peacekeepers in Haiti and Liberia, a BBC investigation has found.Kofi Annan admitted there is widespread abuse, but to date only 2 *peacekeepers* have been sent to jail.
Girls have told of regular encounters with soldiers where sex is demanded in return for food or money.
A senior official with the organisation has accepted the claims are credible.
The UN has faced several scandals involving its troops in recent years, including a DR Congo paedophile ring and prostitute trafficking in Kosovo.
The assistant secretary-general for peacekeeping operations acknowledges that sexual abuse is widespread.
"We've had a problem probably since the inception of peacekeeping - problems of this kind of exploitation of vulnerable populations," Jane Holl Lute told the BBC.
"My operating presumption is that this is either a problem or a potential problem in every single one of our missions."
Kofi also said there is a *Zero Tolerance* policy towards these twisted sexual predators. Did I mention that a grand total of two UN *peacekeepers* have been sent to jail so far? Another successful UN policy, hoorah!
Who's watching the peacekeepers?
