A United States draft resolution to tackle the escalating problem of sexual abuse by peacekeepers appears to have hit some headwinds in the Council with some countries believing the issue should be handled by the General Assembly. The comments came during a Security Council briefing by the UN Secretary General on his recommendations for tackling the scourge that saw 69 sexual abuse allegations against UN personnel in peacekeeping missions last year alone, with the majority in the Central African Republic and the DRC.

UN whistleblower Anders Kompass, who exposed the sexual abuse of children by UN peacekeepers in the Central African Republic, has been completely cleared of wrongdoing following an internal investigation into his actions. The senior UN human rights official was suspended and faced dismissal after he passed confidential documents detailing misconduct to French authorities because of the UN’s failure to stop the exploitation. We look at the scandal on the Lip News with Margaret Howell and Elliot Hill.

The United Nations Security Council has adopted its first ever resolution to tackle the problem of alleged sexual abuse by peacekeepers. Last year, there were 69 reported cases, involving 10 different peacekeepers missions. The Security council resolution comes in the wake of mounting concerns over the apparent spike of allegations of sex abuse made against UN peacekeepers. In a recent report UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, for the first time, revealed the nationalities of the troops facing the allegations. Now South Africa, is already taking steps to try its troops accused of misconduct in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A mobile South African military court has arrived in the DRC to try 32 South African peacekeepers. According to officials, none of the 32 cases involved alleged sexual abuse. The court consists of a judge, a lawyer, a prosecutor and a clerk. It will hold hearings in the capital Kinshasa before returning to South Africa on March 22. South Africa has in the past tried its soldiers in Burundi, Congo and South Sudan. The UN peacekeeping mission in Congo is the world's largest, with about 20,000 uniformed personnel. South Africa has contributed more than 1,000 troops and experts.

UN peace keeping forces in the Central African Republic are facing new allegations of sexual abuse of children. The soldiers at the center of the latest scandal are from France, Georgia and another unnamed European country. The new revelations have piled pressure on the peacekeeping force which has already been criticized for failing to effectively stop violence in the C-A-R.

UN whistleblower Anders Kompass, who exposed the sexual abuse of children by UN peacekeepers in the Central African Republic, has been completely cleared of wrongdoing following an internal investigation into his actions. The senior UN human rights official was suspended and faced dismissal after he passed confidential documents detailing misconduct to French authorities because of the UN’s failure to stop the exploitation. We look at the scandal on the Lip News with Margaret Howell and Elliot Hill.

The United Nations Security Council has adopted its first ever resolution to tackle the problem of alleged sexual abuse by peacekeepers. Last year, there were 69 reported cases, involving 10 different peacekeepers missions. The Security council resolution comes in the wake of mounting concerns over the apparent spike of allegations of sex abuse made against UN peacekeepers. In a recent report UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, for the first time, revealed the nationalities of the troops facing the allegations. Now South Africa, is already taking steps to try its troops accused of misconduct in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A mobile South African military court has arrived in the DRC to try 32 South African peacekeepers. According to officials, none of the 32 cases involved alleged sexual abuse. The court consists of a judge, a lawyer, a prosecutor and a clerk. It will hold hearings in the capital Kinshasa before returning to South Africa on March 22. South Africa has in the past tried its soldiers in Burundi, Congo and South Sudan. The UN peacekeeping mission in Congo is the world's largest, with about 20,000 uniformed personnel. South Africa has contributed more than 1,000 troops and experts.

Whistle-blower on sexual abuse of children by peacekeepers resigns from UN
The man who blew the whistle on the sexual abuse of children- mostly by French peacekeepers in the Central African Republic - has resigned from the United Nations. Anders Kompass was the man who was suspended, and then exonerated, for breaching UN protocol by revealing the allegations to French authorities. In resigning, he blamed the way the UN handled the matter, and what he described as complete impunity for those who abused their authority. Our U.N. correspondent Liling Tan has the details -

Investigating allegations of sexual abuse of children by peacekeepers in the Central African Republic, an independent expert report denounces the United Nations’ failure to respond. Between bureaucracy and a legal vacuum, crimes go unpunished.
Since 2004, soldiers enrolled in peacekeeping missions were accused of committing sexual abuse of minors in the Central African Republic (CAR), Mali, Haiti, Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi. Crimes going as far as implications in human trafficking already took place in the 1990s in Bosnia and Kosovo. The United Nations Secretary General declares a “zero tolerance” policy for such crimes. In 2015, he appointed an independent commission to investigate allegations of sexual abuses by French and African soldiers in CAR. The commission’s report revealed that the soldiers, taking advantage of the economic devastation on the ground and their trusted status, offered food in exchange for sexual acts with children. The children were between 9 and 15 years old. Benefiting from immunity in the countries where they are deployed, these soldiers can only be prosecuted by their sending State. Made possible by a legal void and bureaucracy, impunity for these crimes constitutes a double assault on human dignity. What are the safeguards against wrongdoings by peacekeepers? How to hold perpetrators accountable? What protection for those who break the silence? What remedies are there for the victims?
Le Déshonneur des casques bleus describes the dismay of a population whose children have become the prey of international peacekeepers, and their fight for justice.

For UNSC, Netherlands and Italy to Split 2 Year Term, ICP Asks If 16 Voters
By Matthew Russell Lee
UNITED NATIONS, June 28 -- After tying 95 to 95, Netherlands and Italy agreed to split the Security Council term. Inner City Press proposed and predicted this outcome during the lunch break. Norway said WEOG will meet June 29 at 10 am and consider the proposal.
At a joint stakeout, Inner City Press asked if the two countries will coordinate on voting, for example on Press Statements. Paolo Gentiloni laughed and said it is not yet clear. Periscope video here. We'll have more on this.
In the contested race for the Asia Pacific Group, Kazakhstan defeated Thailand, joining Bolivia and Ethiopia which ran unopposed, and Sweden which won the first round with 134 for seats.
Before the lunch break, Netherlands got 96 to Italy's 94. So: another run-off, at 3 pm. Soon it was 95 to 95. Then the diplomats ran to PGA Lykketoft's office, twice - and came back with the deal.
Inner City Press asked French Ambassador Francois Delattre, the President of the Security Council for June, how it could be resolved. “Three thousand phone calls,” he quipped, calling it “UN diplomacy in action.”
Inner City Press had another simple idea: why not split the two-year term, one year for each?

This UN "Aide Memoire," which Ban's spokesman Stephane Dujarric called "leaked" and refused to answer questions on, shows how - as does this Gallach's letter of May 25, 2016. On June 16, Inner City Press was belatedly provided with a copy of the questions UN Special Rapporteurs Kaye and Forst sent to Gallach on February 25, put it online here:
So Inner City Press asked Ban Ki-moon's Spokesman Stephane Dujarric about the letter(s), Video here, Vine here, UN Transcript here and below.
On June 27 at the UN Human Rights Council, Ban's and Gallach's pretextual eviction of Inner City Press as it reported and reports on their links to the Nb Lap Seng / John Ashe UN bribery scandal and other UN misdeeeds, was raised by International Lawyers in a formal session, video here, statement here:

For UNSC, Netherlands and Italy to Split 2 Year Term, ICP Asks If 16 Voters
By Matthew Russell Lee
UNITED NATIONS, June 28 -- After tying 95 to 95, Netherlands and Italy agreed to split the Security Council term. Inner City Press proposed and predicted this outcome during the lunch break. Norway said WEOG will meet June 29 at 10 am and consider the proposal.
At a joint stakeout, Inner City Press asked if the two countries will coordinate on voting, for example on Press Statements. Paolo Gentiloni laughed and said it is not yet clear. Periscope video here. We'll have more on this.
In the contested race for the Asia Pacific Group, Kazakhstan defeated Thailand, joining Bolivia and Ethiopia which ran unopposed, and Sweden which won the first round with 134 for seats.
Before the lunch break, Netherlands got 96 to Italy's 94. So: another run-off, at 3 pm. Soon it was 95 to 95. Then the diplomats ran to PGA Lykketoft's office, twice - and came back with the deal.
Inner City Press asked French Ambassador Francois Delattre, the President of the Security Council for June, how it could be resolved. “Three thousand phone calls,” he quipped, calling it “UN diplomacy in action.”
Inner City Press had another simple idea: why not split the two-year term, one year for each?

Are UN peacekeepers doing more harm than good?
Their job is to protect the most vulnerable people in what are often impoverished and war-torn regions of the world. But the UN's peacekeepers are facing serious allegations of wide-spread sexual abuse, exploitation and gross misconduct. The latest is in Central African Republic, over the killing of a teenager and his father, and the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says he is "angered and ashamed" by the allegations and described them as "a cancer in our system". There are around 118,000 military, police and civilian staff involved in UN peacekeeping. They work across 16 missions. The operations spread from Haiti, Africa, Kosovo, Cyprus, the Middle East and across to India and Pakistan. Military and police personnel have been contributed from 128 count... -
Inside Story - UN Reforms Enough to Stop Abuse?
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers "a cancer in our system". The UN received 99 sexual abuse complaints against its staff in 2015. A sharp increase from the 80 allegations the year before. The report catalogues allegations against UN military and police personnel from 21 different countries. Most of them are from African countries, but there are also allegations against staff from several European countries and Canada. UN staff accused of sexual abuse are rarely prosecuted. Human rights campaigners say that has contributed to a sense of impunity. The report calls for the UN general assembly and troop contributing countries, to allow prosecutions inside the countries where the crimes take place, and the creation of a DNA registry of all peacekee... -

Questions answered:
Le Confident (CAR) to Paula Donovan: The government complained that they did not have an official copy of the report that was published, however for there to be investigations at the national level the government should have been informed of these allegations and give its reading of the events, how was this report commissioned and shared?
Devex to Paula Donovan: If this type of work (investigating instances of sexual abuse) shouldn’t be the role of Jane Hall Lute to lead or enact, what do you see being her most useful or important role as part of “UN family”?
Deutsche Welle to Paula Donovan: 3 blue helmets are now being persecuted in the DR of Congo for alleged violations in the CAR. Good News? Why is DR Congo able to bring the alleged perpetrator to court, and why is France not (yet) able to do the same?
L'Express (France) for both speakers: Are you in favor of taking a sample of UN peacekeepers' DNA and establishing a file of UN peacekeepers with their DNA?
New York Times to Paula Donovan AND Yasmin Sooka: Do you have any thoughts on why much if not most of the reported abuse is in the CAR? Do you have evidence that UN missions elsewhere have the same problem?
