U.N. Sexual Abuse Alleged in Congo: Washington Post

The 34-page report, which was obtained by The Washington Post, accuses U.N. peacekeepers from Morocco, Pakistan and Nepal of seeking to obstruct U.N. efforts to investigate a sexual abuse scandal that has damaged the United Nations' standing in Congo.

The report documents 68 cases of alleged rape, prostitution and pedophilia by U.N. peacekeepers from Pakistan, Uruguay, Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa and Nepal. U.N. officials say they have uncovered more than 150 allegations of sexual misconduct throughout the country as part of a widening investigation into sexual abuse by U.N. personnel that has plagued the United Nations' largest peacekeeping mission, U.N. officials said.

Investigators found "freshly used condoms" littering guard posts and command centres around Bunia, where peacekeepers from Pakistan, Morocco, Nepal and Bangladesh are based. "We are shocked, we are outraged, we are sickened," said William Lacy Swing, who heads the UN mission in Congo.

Reports say Pakistani, Moroccan and Uruguayan soldiers have all been charged with abuses. The UN can only repatriate them but it has called on member states to prosecute offenders

UN Peacekeepers May be Charged After Sex in Haiti

Two UN peacekeepers have been suspended from their work in Haiti after it was discovered they engaged in sexual intercourse with a prostitute. The pair may be sent home to Pakistan if they are charged over the incident.

The suspension comes after an investigation by the UN in cooperation with Haitian police, which was started after three Pakistani peacekeepers were accused of raping a 23-year-old woman. The woman later confessed to receiving money for the sex acts.

The incident took place in a banana field a week ago, and was witnessed by locals. The third Pakistani man stood in the field and watched but did not participate. The UN has been peacekeeping in Haiti since June.

On the bank of Lake Kivu, in the southern quarters of Goma—the capital of the forested North Kivu province—is theNyiragongo camp of Indian FPU-2, home to some of the 3,871 soldiers from India who are deployed as United Nations peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). They are famously known as the formidable soldiers of Monusco, a French acronym for the UN Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the DRC, which was called Monuc till June 30, 2010. The Nyiragongo camp, like other Monusco bases in Goma, is a tantalising symbol of hope to a battered nation anxious to restore normalcy to North Kivu, a veritable cockpit of bloody armed struggles involving neighbouring countries and indigenous rebel groups arrayed against the Congolese army.

It was this camp 27-year-old Nicole, a sex worker, was propositioned to visit one May night of 2010. She recalls, “They send kids to look for women to have sex with. Each deal gets the kids food. A boy approached me, and I agreed to have sex with a soldier.” Outside the Monusco compound, in the fading evening light, a soldier asked Nicole to wear the army uniform he was carrying. She was then showed the spot from where she could slip into the camp, a sprawling area of tents, dark spaces and the mysterious chirpings of the night. “The deal was to have sex with just this soldier,” Nicole says.

Trapped inside the camp, with no chance to flee, the nightmare for Nicole began—the first soldier was followed by another, then another…then came the tenth, the last. On her way out, she stumbled upon two other women who too had been whisked into the camp and similarly cheated. Ganging up, the enraged trio now threatened to call the local police and create pandemonium. A deal was hastily worked out—for their silent exit, the women received three boxes of chicken, 20 litres of cooking oil, a bag of rice, some cash.

The reprehensible phenomenon of sexual misconduct in Congo envelops not only the lowly jawan, but also includes Indian army officers who, because of their lavish salaries, violate the UN code of conduct with wily sophistication, in greater secrecy. This is evident from the experience of Mamy, who in 2007 often frequented the Karibu Hotel with her friends. It was there she met an Indian army officer based at the Monusco camp at the Goma airport. He chatted her up, told her about the stifling UN rule prohibiting officers from having relationships with local girls, and then inquired whether she and he could become friends, albeit in secrecy. Mamy gave him her contact number.

A series of calls, typical of any courtship, brought Mamy and the officer closer. She remembers the day—March 21, 2007—the officer summoned her to Goma’s Caritas Hotel, where they had sex for the first time. He gifted her $100. The plusher Karibu Hotel later became the venue for their secret rendezvous. Mamy recalls, “We’d have sex in the garden or near the swimming pool. He never came home, advised me to never tell anyone, to never become pregnant, else both of us would be in trouble.” The end of the affair was sudden—the officer announced he’d been transferred out and paid Mamy $350, perhaps a token of appreciation for the good times he had in Goma.

Sexual abuse allegations decline against UN peacekeepers in DR Congo and Liberia

MONUSCO force commander Lieutenant-General Chander Prakash

27 July 2011 – Allegations of sexual abuse by soldiers serving in the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have declined substantially in the past few years, the commander of the force said today, noting that strict measures have been instituted to prevent such misconduct.

“We have instituted specific measures to bring down these figures to something like zero per cent,” said Lieutenant-General Chander Prakash, the commander of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO), at a news conference at UN Headquarters.

“We have issued a code of conduct for the peacekeepers, we provide them orientation training – we make them aware of the circumstances in which they are operating. We even have curfew hours for them in late evenings,” said Lt-Gen. Prakash. Statistics compiled by the UN Department of Safety and Security (DSS) indicate that there were allegations against 59 staff with MONUSCO (then operating as its predecessor, MONUC) in 2007, compared with 36 last year and just 11 so far this year.

Similar measures have also succeeded in discoursing sexual misconduct among troops serving in the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), the operation’s Force Commander, Major-General Muhammad Khalid, told the same news conference. He said three recent allegations of sexual abuse were not proven and could have been launched with ulterior motives.

The force commanders of UN peacekeeping missions were in New York to brief the Security Council.

That’s true bahi. If they did then they would have been charged or persecuted.
Pak soldiers are some of the professional and most discipline straight men I have met.
Many of them have wives/children back home I don’t think they would have engaged in these types of activities and getting disowned by their families. (Just my Personal opinion - You don’t have to agree )
