Wil's Rant

The U.N. has a little problem. That is the long list of rapes and abuses being committed by members of peacekeeping forces pretty much on every mission they have undertaken. For the U.N. peacekeepers to be taken seriously they must not be guilty of the same crimes they are supposed to be protecting these innocent people from. They must have an impeccable record and deal with any offences by their staff very severely. Transgressions by troops of individual nations should be tried at the international level as that is the organization they are supposed to be representing. The U.N. must be above reproach if they are to be effective in leading the world into a new era of co-operation.
