A UN Spokesperson has called the allegations that UN officials tried to cover up the sexual abuse of children in the Central African Republic “Offensive.” What’s truly offensive is the UN’s inability to take responsibility for allowing sexual exploitation to become a “systematic problem.”

Adding insult to injury, the UN has punished the one official who actively tried to stop the sexual abuse of innocent children after he realized the UN was not taking immediate action.
“Bea Edwards, head of the Government Accountability Project, a whistleblower advocacy protection group, rejected Haq’s criticism of the U.N. staffer, saying OHCHR had the report for weeks and did nothing. ‘As soon as (the staffer) was aware of the report and the lack of action, he contacted French law enforcement,” she told Reuters. “Within days, investigators were in the CAR.’”

If reporting child abuse was a “serious breach of protocol” as stated by a spokesman for Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, one must wonder, “Exactly what are the protocols at the OHCHR for dealing with ongoing pedophilia?”
“Typically, the OHCHR documents and reports. It’s clear that in this situation, the faceless bureaucrats at Bangui followed protocol to the point of depravity. They documented and reported without regard for the perversity happening right in front of them to hungry children. Only Kompass took action.”
