It might be good to start with disciplining those UN staff who are known to use the services of these girls. The West can have a role to play in proscecuting those citizens who are buying sex with underage girls, where ever they are in the world. This includes UN staff, soldiers and sex tourists.
I agree, trade sanctions are an option. However apartheid was around (on the books at least) for more than just "a few years." It became official policy in 1948 and wasn't removed until 1991.
There is no telling how long this horrid injustice will continue in Cambodia, even with a US embargo in place.
That's actually one of the main reasons why. By and large, it isn't the women of the Third World who hate us.
You're right; however, trade sanctions by the US and other industrialized nations weren't implemented until sometime in the mid-1980's, that is what I meant by ending Apartheid within "a few years." By the same token, Reagan's arms build-up was basically a form of economic sanction against the Soviets and that also worked within a decade. If you examine the past century, you will see that no nation has ever prospered economically if the United States was actively working to apply economic pressure.
Cuba is pretty much the same way. They have a thriving market in sex with underage girls. Canadians are their best customers.
Cuba has been a thorn in our side for nearly half a century, I really wish we would do something about them. I think that Reagan truly missed a golden opportunity by not launching on Cuba directly from Grenada back in 83.
"Tell me why American people are so hated in this world when the the treatment of women is better here than anywhere in the world?
That's actually one of the main reasons why. By and large, it isn't the women of the Third World who hate us."
Why are white men so hated even within their own country and even by their own women? We treat women better here than any other place or time in history. For this we receive nothing but contempt it seems.
how is this america’s problem to solve??? what is wrong with you??? we are all HUMAN BEINGS. You’re saying that powerless girls who are repeatedly raped don’t deserve america’s help because they aren’t american? it makes me so depressed and dissapointed with humanity when i read a comment such as this...
