The UN’s neglect and cover up of reported child sexual abuse by peacekeeping soldiers has UN human rights staffers fearing for their jobs, according to a letter to the world body’s human rights chief obtained by The Associated Press (AP). The whistleblower of the abuse was ousted from the job. The soldiers offering cookies and water to Central African Republic (CAR) refugee camp children as young as nine-years-old in trade of oral sex or sodomy roam freely.

Amid an explosive VIP pedophilia ring scandal investigation involving politicians, celebrities and other VIPs in the UK, the UN has its own pedophilia scandal. It’s botching it. The UN’s peacekeeping soldiers were supposed to be ending barbaric acts in the camps. The UN is the heart of the Rights of the Child and the human right to dignity. It’s apparent cover-up of the child sexual abuse atrocity for over a year has caused it to lose even more credibility.

Miranda Brown, who worked directly under a UN staffer and was suspended last week for alerting French authorities, is protesting her dismissal she says happened the day before she was to testify in support of him for an internal UN investigation. That was all according to a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. So far, the whistleblower who told the French is the only one punished. The raped children continue to suffer.

Brown said in a May 23 letter to UN chief Ban Ki-moon that her dismissal “bears all the hallmarks of retaliation.” Such retaliation is the very reason many people aware of child abuse never report it.

A year after the UN first heard children as young as 9 describe French soldiers giving them cookies or water bottles in exchange for sodomy or oral sex, instead of protecting the displaced children at the refugee camp in conflict-torn Central African Republic, France has not announced any arrests. This week, it said it was “still investigating”.

One week ago, Deborah Dupré reported:

United Nations high-level staff members made no attempt to stop soldiers from raping African children and covered up their inaction, according to human rights group AIDS-Free World documents released Friday. Rather than immediately acting to protect children from sexual abuse reported by U.N. long term staffer Anders Kompass, the U.N. acted against him with disciplinary procedures to force the whistle-blower‘s resignation, according to the newly leaked documents.

‘Once Again A Failure for the UN’

Statements marked “strictly confidential,” first reported by the AP this week, showed UN deputy high commissioner for human rights in March admitting she “failed to follow up” on the child sex allegations gathered by her own office. She failed to do so even as French authorities pressured UN officials for months for more information.

The May 8 letter from UN human rights field staffers to High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Raad al-Hussein, angrily responds to last month’s suspension of colleague Anders Kompass for telling French authorities. The UN Dispute Tribunal reversed this month,” the AP reports. The UN alleges Kompass breached protocol in sharing the children’s allegations report without redacting names in it. An internal investigation continues. He might be fired.

“What could have been a success story showing the world how we act is, once again, a failure for the UN,” says the letter to al-Hussein.

“What should be the role of a human rights officer while confronting serious allegations of human rights abuses?” the letter asks. “Will we be able to do our work without fearing punishment and retaliation?”

Twenty-three soldiers from France, Chad and Equatorial Guinea are implicated in raping children, according to one of the reports.

More than 5,000 people have died in CAR after a coup plunged the country into chaos. The peacekeeping force there is called Minusca. In French, this stands for the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in Central African Republic. More than a quarter of CAR’s population of 4.8 million has been displaced.
