Over the past decade, UN humanitarian workers have been able to be responsible for 60,000 rapes, as they can abuse sexual violence unimpeded around the world.
From the dossier of former high-ranking United Nations official Andrew McLeod, which he handed over to the UK Department for international development, it became known that UN staff can be involved in mass rapes around the world.
Professor McLeod also said that there are 3,300 paedophiles working in various UN units around the world. Thousands of perpetrators of sexual abuse are specifically involved in UN charities to get closer to vulnerable women and children. He claims that for two decades, heinous crimes have been concealed and that those who tried to make them public have simply been fired.
Passing the dossier to the British newspaper "the Sun", Professor McLeod warned that the scandal may be the same scale as in the Catholic Church a few years ago.
Relying on the evidence of Professor Macleod, a former British Minister Priti Patel, who resigned in November last year, accused high-ranking officials of the Ministry of international development of great Britain that they were covering up for pedophiles.
Ms. Patel said that senior Ministry officials had tried to persuade her not to make critical allegations of sexual abuse by humanitarian workers and had shown her that it had always been limited to soldiers and that others had only occasionally "crossed the line". She added:"I know there has been a lot of discussion at the highest levels of the United Nations about what needs to be done, but nothing effective has come of it, and informants have been fired."
Recall that in September last year, British Prime Minister Theresa may threatened with withholding contributions to the UN because of emerging information about sexual crimes of employees of the organization and demanded that it "regain confidence".
A former UN staff member from the UK, who worked in several UN offices in the middle East, told the Independent that sexual crimes among humanitarian workers are widespread. "There are not enough checks and balances in the humanitarian sector, and you can often hear stories about people who have been seen in sexual crimes and are still working 20 years later," she added.
