Let’s hope this scandal finally puts to bed the catastrophe that is the U.N. Although I doubt it. The UN is guilty of so much worse. For those who have not seen it already, check out the movie, ‘U.N. me’ sometime.
From UN Watch:
UN Watch Press Release:
U.N. Wrong to Reject New Evidence
It Caused Haiti’s Cholera Epidemic
Ban Ki-moon Should Apologize to Families
& Reopen Investigation
EXPERT REPUDIATES U.N. REPORT,
SAYS WORLD BODY IS CULPABLE
Geneva, Oct. 24– The U.N. needs to reopen its 2011 investigation into Haiti’s cholera epidemic in light of new evidence from one of the investigating scientists that points to U.N. culpability for the outbreak, a catastrophe that has already killed 7,500 and sickened more than 300,000, said UN Watch, a non-governmental watchdog group based in Geneva.
However, speaking Monday at a U.N. briefing, Under-Secretary-General Hervé Ladsous, the world body’s head of peacekeeping, dismissed a top scientist’s conclusion that the epidemic originated in a U.N. camp of peacekeepers from Nepal.
Ladsous pointed to the 2011 report by a U.N. expert panel which, he said, “concluded that it was impossible to establish the origins of the disease.”
In response, UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer highlighted the fact that the new evidence comes from a member of the U.N. panel itself, Dr. Daniele Lantagne, a leading international public health expert.
The UN won’t go down this easily, but this will help destroy it.
