UN Peacekeepers continue to rape

advertisement

There are still too many complaints of sexual abuse against United Nations troops, the head of peacekeeping operations has said.

Jean-Marie Guehenno said the UN had investigated 295 cases under a new reporting system introduced last year. It could take several more years to reform the system fully, says Jordan's UN envoy who last year urged changes.

Last year, this same Guehenno fellow admitted that sexual abuse had occurred in every single location where the peacekeepers are deployed.

And when our heroes, the Nobel Peace Prize winning UN peacekeepers are caught, gang-raping twelve year olds, or trading food for sex with starving women, what happens to them? The UN does not punish them.

They simply get plane tickets home.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

These criminals should be turned over to legitimate local authorities where such exist, and returned home pending civil proceedings filed in the offender's home country on the victim's behalf where they do not.

Disgusting.
