Inside Track
UN Whistleblower Skeptical of Reform
Anders Kompass, the UN whistleblower who exposed international “peacekeeping” troops raping and exploiting young children in Africa, is now skeptical that ethical behavior can be resurrected at the organization, he admitted in a June 17 piece for IRIN News, which focuses on international humanitarian issues. And while Kompass said he still believes a “universal organization” is needed to improve the chances of world peace, his experience of being persecuted for trying to stop the savage abuse of children by “peace” troops has left him skeptical that the necessary changes at the UN can be successful.
According to Kompass, the situation with the UN is getting worse, not better. “Sadly, we seem to be witnessing more and more UN staff less concerned with abiding by the ethical standards of the international civil service than with doing whatever is most convenient — or least likely to cause problems — for themselves or for member states,” he explained.
The reason, Kompass said, is mostly because the cost of behaving ethically is perceived as being too high by UN staffers. “Put another way, the benefit to the individual of not behaving ethically is perceived as greater than the cost of taking an ethical stance,” he added, pointing out that UN staff members are “afraid” of doing what is right — and for good reason. As this magazine and even U.S. congressional hearings have documented, while it claims to be unable to rein in rapists, killers, and child molesters among its “peace” armies, the UN has become very proficient at one thing: destroying whistleblowers who try to expose the crimes of their superiors.
