Introduction:

A distressing pattern of behavior within the United Nations (UN) Aid Deployments worldwide.  Peacekeepers deployed in various countries have been accused of engaging in sexual abuse, rape, and exploitation of women and children in exchange for food or support then leaving marginalized, stigmatized women and numberless fatherless children in their wake. 

Prostitution increased in the Congo, Cambodia, Mozambique, Bosnia, and Kosovo after the deployment of UN and NATO peacekeeping forces. Instances of abuse in Cambodia led to HIV/AIDS and other diseases spreading among the local population.

In a 1996 UN study, the arrival of peacekeeping troops was associated with a rapid rise in child rape/prostitution ring in six out of twelve countries studied.

Internal Canadian government documents from 2016 suggested that the UN has deficiencies in tracking and prosecuting peacekeepers accused of exploitation and sexual abuse. Only a small fraction of cases may be reported.

For Years, UN peacekeepers, their high-level commanders and other 'personnel' from around the globe operated a child sex ring, and came to Haiti for sex with boys and girls as young as 12. The peacekeepers lured children with candy and cash. In Haiti alone, more than 300 children have come forward in the last decade with these claims.

Human Rights Watch conducted investigations into the allegations, documenting over 150 cases of sexual abuse by UN employees in Congo.

Survival sex, where vulnerable individuals trade sex for basic necessities like food or money, is also prevalent in the vicinity of UN bases. Girls as young as 11 have been subjected to this exploitation, with peacekeepers taking advantage of their vulnerability and lower risk of HIV/AIDS infection.

Despite efforts to crack down on sex crimes, such as implementing curfews and prohibiting fraternization with prostitutes, whistleblowers reveal UN peacekeepers at a bar filled with prostitutes well past curfew hours, and later driving away with them in UN vehicles.

The UN has been accused of direct involvement in the procurement of sex slaves for a local brothel in Bosnia. Some NATO troops, private contractors, and UN employees have been linked to prostitution and forced prostitution in various locations.

A former high-level UN official, Andrew Macleod, released an outright frightening dossier in 2018, estimating that UN employees carried out over 60,000 rapes in the last decade. While the report reveals that there are 3,300 current employees who are active pedophiles on the UN's payroll, Macleod estimates the real number to be far higher.

According to Macleod, anyone who's attempted to blow the whistle on the horrifyingly rampant abuse is silenced and fired.

“There are tens of thousands of aid workers around the world with pedophile tendencies,but if you wear a UNICEF T-shirt nobody will ask what you’re up to.

“You have the impunity to do whatever you want.

“It is endemic across the aid industry across the world”.

“The system is at fault, and should have stopped this years ago.”

Professor MacLeod worked as an aid boss for the UN all over the world, including high profile jobs in the Balkans, Rwanda and Pakistan – where he was chief of operations of the UN’s Emergency Coordination Centre.

UN troops in Haiti, Sudan, and the Central African Republic have been accused of sexual abuse of children. In the Central African Republic, at least 98 girls reported being sexually abused by international peacekeepers.

In just ten years, under the guise of rendering aid, the United Nations has literally been raping and pillaging countries across the world. The problem has gotten so out of hand that it prompted the former UN insider to blow the whistle and hand over the evidence to Britain's Department for International Development (DFID) Secretary Priti Patel.

Former aid minister Priti Patel claimed that government officials knew about aid workers' sex abuse but tried to keep it hushed up.

Peter Dalglish, a senior official who held high positions within the United Nations, UNICEF and the World Health Organization for over 30 years. Founder of 'Street Kids International' and awarded the 'Order of Canada' for his outstanding humanitarian work, was caught red-handed abusing two young boys in Nepal, and was sentenced to nine years in prison.

These incidents not only highlight a failure in the UN's duty to protect vulnerable populations but also raise significant concerns regarding the lack of accountability and justice for the victims and their offspring who were created by these acts.

Credible reports of sexual abuse and exploitation by UN peacekeeping forces have emerged from Haiti, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cambodia, Mozambique, Bosnia, Kosovo and other nations. Despite the UN's ability to investigate these allegations, only two were held accountable for their actions.

Women and young girls living in conflict zones and impoverished communities are particularly vulnerable to abuse by UN peacekeepers. Exploitation includes rape, coerced sexual relationships, and the exchange of food, goods, or support for sexual acts from women and children. These victims face immense challenges, including ostricism, stigma, limited access to contraception, and the long-term emotional and financial consequences of raising children born from rape by peacekeepers. The voices of these survivors must be heard, yet their suffering goes intentionally ignored by the UN.

The UN's failure to address and prevent sexual abuse by its peacekeepers exposes systemic flaws within the organization. Despite public outrage and extensive media coverage, prosecutions and disciplinary actions remain scarce, perpetuating a culture of impunity. 

To combat this pattern of abuse, the United States must withdraw from the United Nations including financial support.
