Hot Air's latest Vent With Michelle Malkin hammers the UN for all of what was discussed in this post, and more.

Not surprisingly the UN has elected Cuba, among other human rights abusers to the Human Rights Council. At least Iran and Venezuela didn't get in.

Whether you agree with me about the need to disband United Nations or not, you would have to admit that they are the most corrupt and disgraceful organization in existence today. No I'm not just talking about the biggest scandal of all time, Oil for Food, I'm talking about the habit their "peacekeepers" have of raping small children in war torn and third world countries.

It's actually kind of interesting that the latest story comes out just a day after I posted on the rape of thousands of little girls in the Congo at the hands of the UN. That post of course was about Eric Shawn's new book The U.N. Exposed : How the United Nations Sabotages America's Security and Fails the World, and I mentioned the underreported story of mass child rapes occuring at the hands of the UN, when saying that I hoped it has it's own chapter in the book. I also mentioned a similar story from a few years back in Bosnia, but if you do a few quick searches you'll see the UN is doing this all over the world.

Well today's story that should be, but I suspect won't be front page NY Times material, and probably won't get mentioned at all by most of the media, just piles on and shows that the United Nations are by no means cleaning up their act. In this article you'll learn that in one confirmed case, they "supsended" the official involved. If I recall, when I heard the limited reporting on the rapes in the Congo, similar actions were taken. SUSPENDED!? Are you kidding me!?

Reuters has some coverage (that again, I doubt many will pick up) and I couldn't help but notice that they left "UN" and "United Nations" out of the headline that reads: Peacekeepers, teachers prey on Liberia girls: report. Peace keepers huh? Doesn't sound like they're worried as much about peace, so why not mention that it's the "United Nations" in the headline?

MONROVIA (Reuters) - U.N. peacekeepers, aid workers and teachers are having sex with Liberian girls as young as 8 in return for money, food or favors, threatening efforts to rebuild a nation wrecked by war, a report said on Monday.

Save the Children UK said an alarming number of girls were being sexually exploited by men in authority in refugee camps and in the wider community, sometimes for as little as a bottle of beer, a ride in an aid vehicle or watching a film.

Such a classy operation... why are we part of this group again?

The 20-page document said local people reported sexual exploitation by peacekeepers in every location where a contingent of the UNMIL peacekeeping force was stationed, highlighting the continuing problem of sex abuse by U.N. forces.

Allegations of sexual misconduct have dogged U.N. operations in Liberia, Ivory Coast, Haiti and especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the world body has accused members of its biggest peacekeeping force of rape, pedophilia and giving children food or money in return for sex.

Well, that's only a partial list of countries where this is and has happened, but I guess minimal reporting is better than no reporting.

The U.N. force in Liberia said in a statement eight cases of sexual exploitation and abuse involving U.N. personnel had been reported since the start of 2006. One of those had been substantiated and the member of staff suspended.

Way, way to go UN, that's really throwin' the book at 'em! By the way, eight cases may have been "reported", but I would guess, like in the other countries, there are probably thousands of occurances. Keep in mind that this is the UN statement saying that there have been eight cases reported, and they obviously have an interest in downplaying what is clearly a worldwide scandal.

The report's compilers spoke to more than 300 people in camps for displaced people and communities where people had recently returned to their pre-war localities.

"All of the respondents clearly stated that they felt that the scale of the problem affected over half of the girls in their locations," it said, adding aid workers, teachers, camp and government employees, policemen and soldiers were involved.

"The girls reportedly ranged in age from 8 to 18 years, with girls of 12 years and upwards identified as being regularly involved in 'selling sex'," commonly referred to as "man business," it said.

It did not give a total number for estimated cases of sexual exploitation in Liberia.

Yeah, those bastards in the Congo thought they were really something when they raped 12 year olds... let's seem 'em top this! Read the rest here.

Rumor has it that the UN's new motto is going to be "Just when you thought you war torn country couldn't suck any more, we come in and rape your elementary school aged children!"

Again, I have links to the Congo and Bosnia stories in my previous post, but I'm sure if you dig around you could find more coverage, despite the fact that you probably never heard about it from the NY Times or on the network news. I just did a quick Yahoo! (not Yahoo! News) search on 'United Nations Rape', and the number one result of course is from the "alternative media", a World Net Daily article dated March 1, 2005 with the headline: U.N. targeting own sex abuse. But don't let the headline fool you, because without any media coverage to drive public outcry, he United Nations just really sweeps it all under the rug, and of course continues this peacekeeping outrageous behavior, now in Liberia.

Again, you can dig up all kinds of underreported information on the UN's rape and child rape problem, but here's just a bit from that WND article that was about the empty claims that Annan was going to crack down on people over this continuing problem:

As it currently stands, many peacekeepers accused of wrongdoing are never punished, since they're simply sent home to be handled by their own governments.

"We are taking very firm measures – changing some of the commanders, some of the civilian staff have been disciplined – and we've come up with very strict instructions that they should not fraternize the way they have done in the past," U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said yesterday.

(sarcasm) Whoa, cool your jets bub! That's a little harsh wouldn't you say? "Changing commanders", "disciplining staff" (why do they remain "staff" at all!? And why are they not being prosecuted?!). Boy, I don't want to get on your bad side! (/sarcasm)

By the way Kofi, did these people really need "strict instructions" to know not to rape women and small girls? I don't think anyone on the planet needs "instructions" not to do that, and I should expect the UN has an employment screening process that would allow them to determine if someone was legally retarded, as they would have to be to not know better than to rape women and children!

Now here's something really interesting:

As WorldNetDaily previously reported, the widespread sex scandal came to be known as "the U.N.'s Abu Ghraib," with the London Times providing some specific examples, including:

That got me thinking.... Where are the 45 front page NY Times stories in 50 days (or whatever it was)? I mean, we have prosecuted something like 8 or 9 people for the abuses at Abu Ghraib and the media coverage continues to this day, despite there being nothing really new since the first month the story broke. We've had the ACLU sue for the release of more pictures that stood to do nothing but spark more muslim outrage, and added nothing to the story... But I haven't heard jack about this, and the raping of 8 year old girls is certainly worse than making a bunch of captured insurgents get naked and stand in a cheerleader pyramid, wouldn't you agree?

When will Human Rights Watch and all the others will be attacking the United Nations relentlessly over this? When will the media overcover this until they are doing nothing but repeating the same exact information all day every day?

Now for the handful of examples mentioned in that last excerpt:

* A French U.N. logistics expert in the Congo shot pornographic videos in his home, in which he had converted his bedroom into a photo studio for videotaping his sexual abuse of young girls. When police raided his home, the man was allegedly about to rape a 12-year-old girl sent to him in a law enforcement sting operation. As the Times reported, a senior Congolese police officer confirmed the bed was surrounded by large mirrors on three sides, with a remote control camera on the fourth side.

* U.N. officials are worried that the scandal, which already has netted 150 allegations of sex crimes by U.N. staffers, will explode if the pornographic videos and photos, now on sale in Congo, becoming public

"It would be a pretty big problem for the U.N. if these pictures come out," one senior official told the Times.

* Two Russian pilots paid young girls with jars of mayonnaise and jam to have sex with them, the report adds.

* U.N. "peacekeepers" from Morocco based in Kisangani – a secluded town on the Congo River – are notorious for impregnating local women and girls. In March, an international group probing the scandal found 82 women and girls had been made pregnant by Moroccan U.N. staffers and 59 others by Uruguayan staffers. One U.N. soldier accused of rape was apparently hidden in the barracks for a year.

Congo's Minister of Defense Maj.-Gen. Jean Pierre Ondekane told a top U.N. official that all U.N. "peacekeepers" in Kisangani would be remember for would be "for running after little girls," the Times reported.

* And at least two U.N. officials – a Ukrainian and a Canadian – have been forced to leave the African nation after getting local women pregnant.

In backwards order...

"Forced to leave", again way to bring the hammer down Kofi.

Impregnated 82 women and girls? Can you imagine how many they actually had sex with?! Can you remember ever reading a headline that said "UN Workers Impregnate 82 Women and Girls In the Congo"? I don't.

Condiments for sex? Way to help out these poor people UN, great job as always! I just can't even imagine how cruel and evil must these men are. And are they rotting in jail? The story doesn't say but my guess is they are still working in the same capacity as they were when they commited these acts, since the UN hasn't even done anything that could be called a slap on the wrist in any of these cases.

Now, the first example in the list is where see the extreme double standard. Remember just before those examples I told you how they call this the "UN's Abu Ghraib", but obviously the media hasn't had the same interest. Well that first example in that list is very telling. Where have the ACLU and far left groups been? Why are they not demanding the release of these images?! Obviously they wouldn't want to print them, but shouldn't they be as outraged, or actually much more outraged than they were over Abu Ghraib story?

Wondering what the human rights groups are saying? The UN is obviously not saying anything about it, so let's see if anyone else is.

Human Rights Watch doesn't mention this story... But they do have "U.S.: Bush Should Close Guantanamo Now" as their top story. I checked their "news" page, and nothing there either.

Amnesty International is as silent as HRW, but of course they managed to squeeze in a dig at America in their latest news section, with a headline that reads: US: Government creating "climate of torture". Also like HRW, they have nothing on their news page.

Would you believe it's the same situation at Human Rights First? And of coures, the obligatory America bashing headlines are there: U.S. Must Abide by Ban on Cruel Treatment and Groundbreaking Research Shows Over 600 U.S. Personnel Implicated in Widespread Abuse

I think you get the point. If you would like to express your outrage, there is only one way to contact the UN on their web site, through this contact form. But I think you'd be better off contacting the media with your outrage because it's only through their coverage that pressure will be put on the UN to do something.

I'm surprised to see that the blogosphere hasn't even really picked up today's Liberia story. There are a couple LiveJournal people who's copied the whole story without anything further, and this genius who's headline reads: So we're in Iraq fighting for human rights...what about Liberia? Darfur?. I know if you follow the link, you'll see that this text is small, but it is the headline. It's the headline in Technorati, and the rest of the post is the copied and pasted article. I think it's pretty clear that this girl didn't bother to read the article to find out that the UN is the guilty party here. I'm sure if we asked her if we should go to war against the UN in Liberia she'd be a little confused.

***UPDATE***
A lot of bloggers are up in arms over Cuba being given a Human Rights Council seat. While I certainly completely agree with their outrage, at the same time I'm kind of like "what did ya expect?" The UN is a horrible institution that was even entertaining the idea, and it looked likely for a while, to let Iran on the council. So yes, this is deserving of everyone's outrage, but at the same time I never expected anything better from the UN. For more on this check out:

***UPDATE***
It seems the UN has similar problems to this elementary school. At least in this school, where 12 boys aged 6-8 sexually assaulted an 8 year old girl, they were suspended. A teacher who should have been watching has been fired, and another suspended. It's sad that the UN can't even be this harsh with their ADULT employees repeatedly raping little girls, impregnating them, trading tiny amounts of food for sex, etc.

***UPDATE***
I received the following in a comment from someone calling herself Mishka. Of course I have not verification of whether this is true or not, but I suspect it is. Basically she gives a first hand account of being witness to these shameful UN activities:

I am very sorry to tell you that UN corruption and rape is not limited to the countries you've listed. I was personally a UN officer in Eastern Sudan and the biggest difficulty of my job was not the harsh environment we lived and worked in, but dealing with other fellow officers, predominantly from other African countries. These gentlemen not only abused girls in the refugee camps, but ended up raping a UN volunteer in our compound. I was quite new at the job and quite young. My attempts to do something about these abuses lead to my contract being discontinued. The gentleman who raped my friend was quite high on the chain of command in the UN and was far more powerful. Before my contract ended, I left voluntarily because I was harrassed and threatened by some of my fellow UN officers. There was only one other female in the camp, the rest were all men. The UN has some very hard working and dedicated people who have done an amazing job in relief and development, but they are a minority. The organization as a whole is quite corrupt and needs to be dissolved and replaced by another body that is made accountable to donor countries. I went to Sudan with the most idealist and naive mind. I wanted to make my contribution towards making the world a better place. I left my job in Sudan emotionally scarred for life. My friend who got raped was never able to bring this bastard to justice. God knows how many other victims he's leaving behind. Disgusting, just disgusting!!!
