UN complicit in Balkans sex trade. (Insider Report).
"A senior United Nations official is demanding that her colleagues involved in the sex trade in Bosnia should be stripped of their immunity and prosecuted," reported the February 9th issue of The Scotsman. "Madeleine Rees, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Bosnia, has broken ranks to demand that UN officials, international peacekeepers and police who are involved in sex crimes be brought to justice in their home countries."
Prior to the mid-1990s, the Balkan sex trade was practically nonexistent. This changed abruptly when the UN took over administrating Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1995. Since then, sex slavery--abduction of girls as young as 12 from eastern Europe to serve as prostitutes in brothels--has become a major industry in Bosnia and Kosovo (also under UN administration). UN officials, both civilian and military, are deeply involved in this despicable commerce.
