Child sex claim aboard UN ship

02jul03

THE UN is investigating reports that underaged Thai prostitutes smuggled into East Timor were conducting trade in a ship used as a dormitory for peacekeepers.

The charge, made over the weekend in the Portuguese weekly Expresso, follows months of investigations by UN and Timorese authorities of a new surge in prostitution in the island nation.

At issue is whether UN personnel are engaging in prostitution and whether the alleged prostitutes were forced into service and transported to Timor against their will.

"Stern warnings were issued to staff about behaviour," said David Wimhurst, UN peacekeeping department spokesman.

Mr Wimhurst said he knew nothing about activities ship mentioned in Expresso, which accused UN police officers of covering up abuses. The investigation is continuing.

And these are the people we were supposed to go crawling on our knees to, begging for their permission to liberate Iraq?

If true, I say it's another straw on the already broken back of the UN camel. Dropkick the Bastiges out of the country!

How Clear Can It Be?! Get The U.N. out of the U.S.!!! Defund Them! End their miserable existence!

It's a good thing they weren't engaged in global warming or they might have arrested them. Abuse children and they get a slap on the wrist.

This is FAR from the first time U.N. "Peacekeepers" have been caught running prostitution rings, and who could possibly act surprised that the U.N. engages in child rape?

"Imagine the screaming headlines and worldwide outrage if the Catholic Church or any other church allowed sexual abuse of children on such a massive scale. Could the media establishment's pro-U.N., anti-religious bias have anything to do with the stunning discrepancy? "

A U.N. euphemism for raping children.
