CNN Wire, Fox News Network, AP,
and the Voice of America were among the only big media outlets that
covered the new U.N. report on sexual abuse committed by U.N.
peacekeepers; the report was released a few days ago. Where were the
broadcast network nightly news shows, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and all the others?
There were 99 allegations made
last year, up from 80 in 2014. One in three incidents of sexual
molestation involved children. That this is going on despite the U.N.'s
zero tolerance policy makes this story all the more disturbing. One
reason why this problem is getting worse is the U.N.'s legal inability
to do anything about it: for valid reasons, it has no authority to
prosecute these peacekeepers. Moreover, the home country of the
offenders often does nothing about it.
