THE United Nations is investigating a report that a ship chartered for peacekeepers in East Timor is also being used to bring child prostitutes to the island nation, the organisation said today.

The allegations surfaced over the weekend in the Portuguese weekly Expresso. The Expresso report said UN personnel were involved in bringing girls from Thailand to East Timor as prostitutes.

"So far, some of the allegations are unsubstantiated," said Hua Jiang, UN deputy spokeswoman. She would not elaborate or comment further on the status of the investigation being conducted by the UN's office of internal oversight.

The same office investigated allegations last year of sexual exploitation of refugee children in West Africa by employees of more than 40 private aid organisations.

That report found the allegations largely unsubstantiated although they were raised in a report by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

No more UN for US-list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

Didn't they do the same thing in Bosnia?

Remember, this is OUR tax dollars at work!

[OPS4]

Add me to your list.

The U.N. has been deep cover for terrorists and criminals
like Kofi and Nelson for years!

The U.N. should fly the jolly roger!

Ops4 God Bless America!

[eureka!]

Oh, I loathe the UN....

Didn't they do the same thing in Bosnia?

Yep. UN "personnel" seem to have a lot of money and particular "needs."

A few weeks ago the Wall Street Journal profiled a woman who specializes in following the U.N. to places like this, Afghanistan, etc., by opening high priced restaurants the locals can't afford to cater to the U.N. crowd. It doesn't have the moral angle this article does, but it does show that when the U.N. comes to town in their shiny S.U.V.'s they start throwing around a lot of cash.

So Hua, tell us what part of the report has been confirmed.

[hedgetrimmer]

Why am I not suprised?

[OPS4]

The Fox is guarding the hen house.

Ops4 God Bless America!

[Callahan]

The ship will hence forth be known as the "S.S. Ritter!"

[BARLF]

Weasel words.

[OPS4]

The Fox is guarding the Hen House, meaning, the U.N. should be last to investigate this allegation, since the ship is under thier charter.

Weasel de is weasels do! Weasles are in the U.N.,

Ops4 God BLess America!

Well, they certainly won't find any young prostitutes on that boat now. The UN goons have been tipped off and they've all been tossed overboard.

[joesnuffy]

surprised the UN doesnt run orphanages for children of those parents they've murdered
then brainwash/raise the orphans up to be terrorists
send them to Palestine and demand their "right of return"
The UN is the anti-christs vehicle

[JmyBryan]

Quite possible the most corrupt bureacracy on the planet.

[eureka!]

"The ship will hence forth be known as the "S.S. Ritter!" "

LOL, sadly. The entire child/forced prostitution racket is a well known secret, and the UN/Rats and even GOP turn a blind eye. Prayers for the innocents....

[freeangel]

Handpicked by the esteemed Kofi, I presume?

The U.S. must withdraw its membership and this filthy, corrupt organization has got to be removed from our shores. After that, I would like to see the U.N. buildings torn down and a lovely park or some other useful building put there.
