A senior United Nations aid worker has been suspended for disclosing
to prosecutors an internal report on the sexual abuse of children by
French peacekeeping troops in the Central African Republic.
Sources close to the case said Anders Kompass passed the document to
the French authorities because of the UN’s failure to take action to
stop the abuse. The report documented the sexual exploitation of
children as young as nine by French troops stationed in the country as
part of international peacekeeping efforts.
Kompass, who is based in Geneva, was suspended from his post as
director of field operations last week and accused of leaking a
confidential UN report and breaching protocols. He is under
investigation by the UN office for internal oversight service (OIOS)
amid warnings from a senior official that access to his case must be
“severely restricted”. He faces dismissal.
