UN peacekeeping missions throughout Africa in the 90s were strife w/ abuses, both sexual and physical so this is hardly a surprise to me. Those that have worked under the UN banner have done nothing but to ruin their reputation in areas where they were supposed to help the most. I've long wanted the US to kick the UN out of NYC and stop giving them money.

The UN employee accused of the leak, Swedish national Anders Kompass, is based in Geneva and turned the report over to French authorities because his bosses had failed to take action, The Guardian reported.

He has been suspended and faces dismissal for breaching protocol, the paper said.


Shoot the messenger. The irony is the UN is supposed to be humanity's pinnacle institution dealing with human rights and that is the reaction Huh A lesson in how to destroy your credibility. The correct action would have been to suspend his bosses

"Different kids used different language."

The report by the UN human rights office was commissioned amid fears of sexual abuse against children last year as tens of thousands were displaced by fighting and unrest in the country.

The UN employee accused of the leak, Swedish national Anders Kompass, is based in Geneva and turned the report over to French authorities because his bosses had failed to take action, The Guardian reported.

He has been suspended and faces dismissal for breaching protocol, the paper said.

But UN officials said Kompass passed on the confidential document before it was presented to senior officials in the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, suggesting that senior UN officials were not even aware of the report's findings when it was leaked.
