When African children's lives matter, perhaps ours will too | OBV:
Allegations of sexual misconduct by UN soldiers have long been reported
and documented in most of the 16 countries in which UN troops have been
in operation. However, what seems striking in relation to the abuses in
CAR, is the involvement of senior officers in allegedly masterminding
the abuses and, that the majority of the victims here, are children.
Last December, an independent panel
had already made alarming findings on the way the UN had responded to
the allegations in CAR. It laid bare serious systematic failures by UN
personnel and highlighted a culture of impunity, flawed investigatory
mechanisms and inadequate structures to support actual and alleged
victims. The panel made several recommendations to help ensure
peacekeepers who engage in sexual misconduct are held to account and for
the victims to be appropriately supported.
