U.N. Investigates
Alleged Sexual Abuse by Peacekeepers in Eritrea
April 14, 2005 -(Deutsche Presse Agentur) The U.N.
Mission monitoring the disputed border between Ethiopia and Eritrea
disclosed Thursday that it has set up a committee to investigate
allegations of sexual abuse which Eritrean women have made against
Mission peacekeepers and civilian staff.
Gail Sainte, spokesperson for the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia
and Eritrea (UNMEE), said that ``UNMEE has established a committee
today composed of civilian and military personnel to look into sexual
abuse accusations made by Eritrean women, one of which was informally
and the other two were formally reported to us.''
``We take these allegations very seriously, as does the U.N. headquarters
in New York,'' she said, adding that ``there is zero tolerance in
our Mission for sexual abuse and exploitation.''
Two years ago UNMEE sent home two Irish soldiers who took pornographic
photos of young Eritrean women.
