#2  If the UN was a serious organization,it would have realized long ago there were problems w/the quality of troops it rented for peacekeeping missions. It would have set up a training/qualification center for peacekeeping troops,and only those who had passed course would be used. Nato should have jumped at chance and offered use of decommissioned bases for the training. But that would have required foresight and we know the only thing the UN management cares about is keeping the money flowing in.

#4 The U.N. Security Council condemned sex abuse by peacekeepers for the first time on Tuesday, after hearing from the head of an inquiry into abuse that member nations had ignored the problem for years.

What, no high dollar meetings in faraway places before this one where they could've condemned sex abuse. This is the lowest of the low...abusing people who are victims of war. Much like the U.N. arguing over a legal definition of "terrorism", this is all smoke and mirrors to appear tough. And, it is not the fault of the member nations...it's the fault of the U.N. in general and the perpetrators individually.

#6 And... And...



"Jordanian" sex abusers of boys
...3/20/2005...threaten
Aussie Peacekeepers



AUSTRALIAN soldiers drew arms
to protect themselves from Jordanian peacekeepers after a Digger blew the
whistle on other Jordanian soldiers’ sexual abuse of East Timorese boys.



“Wratten informed PKF (peacekeeping force) that he had been receiving
complaints from local children about Jorbatt (Jordan Battalion) abuse,” said a
senior UN official who was based in Oecussi at the time.



“A Jordanian officer in HQ informed Jorbatt that he had ratted on them.
Wratten and his guys manning the helo (helicopter) refuelling pad in Oecussi
town started getting threatened. There was one occasion where Aussie Steyrs
were pointed at Jorbatt and Jor-batt M-16s pointed at Aussies.”





Jordanians in UN force in Kosovo
...4/28/2004...shoot
at women soldiers



The roundup here of how 'two
American women and an American man were slain in Kosovo'... and yes... the
"Jordanian" turned out to be a Palestinian.



'The Palestinian, Sergeant Major Ahmed Mustafa Ibrahim Ali, was killed
when members of the contingent in which the Americans were traveling
returned fire. '

...

'Ali, is being investigated for connections with Hamas, the Palestinian
terror organization. Second is that the same Ali had visited the kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, home of the Wahhabi Islamic sect that produced al Qaeda, only
a month before he was sent to Kosovo in March.'



But how could this happen... usually Palestinians attack unarmed women and
children and in this case attacked armed women? Well... sort of...



The Palestinian carried an M-16, from which he apparently discharged 400
rounds, leading NATO investigators to examine whether his four colleagues in
a Jordanian detachment assigned to guard the prison had helped him by
feeding his weapon as he fired. The four remain under arrest and their
immunity from prosecution has been revoked.



The Americans shot back with pistols. An Austrian guard heard the noise and
ran to the scene, but was wounded in the legs by the Palestinian.



The Associated Press account states chillingly, "When he had shot all those
he could see, Ali paced around the vans [in which the Americans had been
riding], searching for more victims."



The carnage continued until Ali's weapon jammed. The surviving Americans
then stormed the Jordanians' guard shack, where they found his four comrades
hiding. The Americans grabbed their weapons from them and killed the
assailant, firing 16 bullets into his body.



True to historical form the Jordanians cowered... while the Pali shot up
those he didn't think could defend themselves.
