How the UN Has Failed to Protect Children From Their Peacekeepers

An excerpt from, "Peacekeeping by U.N. Faces New Scrutiny on 2 Fronts" by Rick Gladstone, New York Times, October 9, 2013:

The United Nations was hit with a double dose of scrutiny over its accountability practices on Wednesday, charged in a lawsuit with gross negligence in Haiti’s deadly cholera epidemic, and accused by an anticorruption organization of oversight lapses in its own peacekeeping operations around the world.

While coincidental, the two events underscored what some critics of the United Nations have called an institutional culture of privilege and exceptionalism in an organization that basically regulates itself and is not necessarily answerable to any higher judicial authority.
