The UN is apparently continuing to make it a priority to sanction the whistleblower who tried to put an end to the reported, ongoing sexual abuse of impoverished children in the Central African Republic, instead of taking measures to ensure that this never happens again.

Let’s be clear, Anders Kompass turned over a report with names and nicknames of abuse victims to French authorities. How else does the UN expect French law enforcement agencies to investigate the crimes? Are they to divine the identities of victims and details of the crimes? Without proper information, how are authorities to hold perpetrators accountable? The UN’s reliance on this tired narrative simply reflects an unpersuasive effort to avoid responsibility for gross mismanagement and neglect.
