THE U.N. SEX SCANDAL: IT’S NOT JUST CONGO

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 13, 2005 01:42 PM

The Washington Post reports on the broadening of the United Nations sex scandal:

The United Nations is facing new allegations of sexual misconduct by U.N. personnel in Burundi, Haiti, Liberia and elsewhere, which is complicating the organization’s efforts to contain a sexual abuse scandal that has tarnished its Nobel Prize-winning peacekeepers in Congo.

The allegations indicate that a series of measures the United Nations has taken in recent years have failed to eliminate a culture of sexual permissiveness that has plagued its far-flung peacekeeping operations over the last 12 years….

Some of the details described in internal U.N. letters and memos obtained by the Post:

- peacekeepers in several Liberian communities routinely engage in sex with girls as young as 12;

- community leaders in the town of Robertsport have accused Namibian peacekeepers there of “using administrative building premises and the surrounding bush to undertake sex acts with girls between the age of 12-17.”
