Feb. 10, 2005 — ABC News' chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross traveled to Africa to investigate allegations of sexual abuse against U.N. peacekeepers stationed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Widespread allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of Congolese women, boys, and girls surround the very same U.N. personnel sent to help and protect them — and all this despite a so-called zero tolerance policy touted by the United Nations toward such behavior.

Ross speaks with families of alleged victims, adolescents who say they provide sex to U.N. workers, and U.N. officials who say they are disciplining any staff involved in the abuse. But to date, of the hundreds of allegations of sex crimes involving U.N. personnel, only two have faced any kind of prosecution.

If you would like to ask Brian Ross a question about his investigation, fill out the form below. Ross' answers will be posted on ABCNEWS.com early next week.
