Why should an international organisation that placed soldiers from a cholera-infected region into a region that was known historically to have very bad immunity without so much as a blood screening, then have said soldiers dump their waste (which is how cholera spreads), in a local river where masses of those non-immune people drink from ?
Why the hell should such an organisation be held blameless ? Seriously.
- yummyfajitas 13y agoI'll give the same answer I gave after the UN's child rape scandal in the Congo: without the UN, things would be even worse. The UN should of course fix their procedures and try to do better next time, but punishing them merely creates disincentives for engaging in necessary actions. That's to say that specific individuals involved in the coverup shouldn't be punished, however. Note that I say this as a person who hates the UN, believes the US should exit the UN, kick them out of NY, and give our security council seat to India (or perhaps a less dysfunctional large democracy).
- gadders 13y agoI realise this is just crazy talk, but how about we get them to operate in countries without infecting everyone or raping children?
