The UN raping children: Why does this ring a bell

BY MICHAEL THOMAS

When an organization that was supposed to be protecting the rights of children does a 360 and starts raping and molesting the same children it was supposed to shelter, we as a global community have a serious problem.

Such is the case when it comes to what is left of the UN aka the United Nations, and here is a quote to prove my point. “Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law.”

This is from the UN’s March report released by the United Nations. According to this organization, minors can now have sex with adults; it is their human right.

Let us look at the track record of the UN from a sex-with-children point of view.

According to an AP Associated Press report, the UN placed Sri Lankan peacekeepers in Haiti who were doing everything except keeping the peace. Here is a report from a small girl who was raped repeatedly at the time in Haiti.

“I didn’t even have breasts,” said a girl, known as V01 — Victim No. 1. She told UN investigators that over the next three years, from ages 12 to 15, she had sex with nearly 50 peacekeepers, including a “Commandant” who gave her 75 cents. Sometimes she slept in UN trucks on the base, whose once-glamorous buildings were being overtaken by jungle.

An Associated Press investigation of UN missions during the past 12 years found nearly 2,000 allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation by peacekeepers and other personnel around the world.

More than 300 of the allegations involved children, the AP found, but only a small number of the alleged perpetrators served any jail time.

The UN, however, has no legal obligation to bring their soldiers to justice. Very conveniently that is left for the contributing countries to enforce. Let that sink in for a moment. Kind of like the COVID injection, you are on your own.

In Haiti, at least 134 Sri Lankan peacekeepers exploited nine children in a sex ring from 2004 to 2007, according to an internal UN report obtained by the AP. In the wake of the report, 114 peacekeepers were sent home. None was ever imprisoned.

The UN has such a tarnished history abroad when it comes to child sex that one US senator, Sen. Bob Corker told AP quote, “If I heard that a U.N. peacekeeping mission was coming near my home in Chattanooga, I’d be on the first plane out of here to go back and protect my family.”

Corker recalled his disgust at hearing of the UN sexual abuse cases uncovered in the Central African Republic.

The United Nations, meanwhile, continued to send Sri Lankan peacekeepers to Haiti and elsewhere despite corroborating the child sex ring.

Now let’s move to someone who knows the UN inside out. Alex Newman is an international journalist, educator, and author and his take on the UN in two words is “Not good.”

“UN troops were down in the Central African Republic raping children everywhere. Little kids: seven, eight, and nine were being raped by these disgusting pieces of human trash.”

Newman told his interviewer that when someone from inside the UN human rights office in Switzerland tried to report and stop what he learned was happening; he was fired and escorted out under armed guards. The UN for trying to expose them also demonized him. Are we seeing a pattern here?

Newman said, “There are decent people working at the UN, but at the highest levels when you get to the folks pulling the strings, what you find is seriously dark, seriously wicked people, but I am encouraged that there are still good people in there willing to blow the whistle, willing to speak out, willing to pass information to journalist and that is encouraging, that’s good news for all of us.”

I can go on, but that’s the child sex ring called the UN in a nutshell.
