Award-winning correspondent Ramita Navai (Iraq Uncovered) traces allegations from Congo to the Central African Republic, with firsthand accounts from survivors, witnesses and officials. Some survivors were as young as 10 when they say they were raped or exploited by UN peacekeepers who were supposed to protect them. The film explores the failures and constraints of the UN - which has the authority to fire people, but not prosecute them - and the role of member states in dealing with the problem.

The culture of impunity is totally unacceptable and disgusting.
What happened there?
1) children were sexual exploited.
2) it was uncovered
3) lot of talking
4) many talk and zero actions
5) sexual exploitation still goes on but high official talks about it
6) victins are left behind
United Nations is rapist pedophile mafias with impunity.
I have a lot of respect for Frontline for bringing into light so many issues and conflicts of our time. Kudos to the team for going the extra step. 👏
agree, i binge watched some of their videos today and was impressed by the reporting
I’ve always watched Frontline, they are great in documentaries, with facts 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Taking full advantage of the most vulnerable and this is what some aid workers did in Haiti! End of statement!
Shut up
Lies
I believe it
@@saltyclassicviews5305 hahaha
True
I honestly even being a doctor can’t seem to wrap my mind around how anybody can do this to children and how can anyone ignore this. This is infuriating and saddening to see authorities not doing anything until it’s reported by the media. Stop calling these people peacekeepers, it’s disgusting.
It worse than this do your research this western
@@manchesterunitedakamrtread8317 I can get informed about these matters but for example I can't "do my research" because these subjects hurt too much, I've been through this and I empathise with the victims. I just wanted to let you know, research isn't easy sometimes.
Yes of course. I can't understand it either. But what's really at issue is the U.N. has no mechanism to try it''s own peacekeepers. That right there is a big red flag. And what I find interesting too the language used in Congo seems to be French. Age of consent in France is now 15. Yeah I know it seems very arbitrary to mention that. But former French colony when combined with sex is a bad combination.
How about Covering the Faith that doesn't distinguish Children with polygamy of upto 4 wives ?

It's nice to see some actual journalism 👏
Exactly screw the myth and romanticism surrounding the military that freely enter a country not their own under the lie of peace keeping.
This is all bs
as opposed to what? Other Frontline videos, or news in general?
@@saltyclassicviews5305 ^^^Found another Un " peacekeeper " and he's not too happy about him and his buddies getting outed...
Not Fox News alike …lol
Thank you for giving a voice to the victims
Sad excuses for human beings.
They're not there because they care about anyone but are there because they get paid money.
I didn't watch this yet, but did this cover Sri Lankan peacekeepers molesting kids in Haiti? It's a part of Sri Lanka's military history never spoken of. Most Sri Lankans dont even know their government simply paid the kids off to keep it hush hush. The UN didn't put up much of a fight either.
As a Sri Lankan, more pressure needs to be put on my government for this shit. Something to keep in mind the next time you consider Sri Lanka as a holiday destination, if the war crimes done during the end of our civil war weren't enough.
😅😅😅😅😅
hear ltte terrorists supporter
sri lankan army only fight with terrorists they won
now no bomb blast we can go any wear in sl
Thank you as a Haitian for.bringing light to.those atrocities
This has been going on FOREVER! They aren’t serious about stopping this.
They give us a token bust of losers every other year while the ringleaders buy more ad space during the nightly news.
They cant stop it....its futile to try.only way that could be effective is,SEVER PUNISHMENT.
This is the first I'm hearing about it. I'm hoping it being more reported on gets it out there; and the public start applying pressure. My heart is with all victims.
Those pieces of dirt. They had money and food to give these children and instead they gave them crumbs and took more than they were ever entitled to.
Thanks Frontline for telling us this and all your documentaries are spot on. Terribly sad 😔.
What a great investigation by FRONTLINE! Kudos to everyone involved. Thank you for making this available to the public!
This is truly heartbreaking. These countries need to adopt these resolutions to protect these people.
When you have foreign peacekeeper that know nothing bout your community there is no incentive to contribute local community..just like police officers that don't live in the communities they patrol
Maybe we should defund govts ability to create their own money. Breaking down corruption and inflation then civil war then foreign govts to be arbitrators then more abuse?

Head of UN mission: this is totally unacceptable, we have the strongest policies, written by people paid 800 USD per day, and we have PSEA training, budgeted for over 120,000 USD per mission per year. But thanks for letting us know: this is very unethical and unacceptable and we will pay some P4 position 200,000 USD a year and will open new budgets and we will pull all the money we can to make sure we get the highest quality policies, and we will make workshops in five star hotels in Geneva and Dubai, and we will not stop, we will spend every last dollar we can get from your country to ensure that this is unacceptable and I will personally take a 20 days retreat in Bangkok at 1200 USD per day accomodation to brainstorming the better solutions, and we will really never stop and tomorrow I will call Donors to pay more, more, more
Adopting resolutions does not protect victims. Action against perpetrators might begin to protect victims.
Sexual crimes committed under color of authority. Death penalty. If you knew about these crimes and failed to act ... life.
Sentenced by whom? The host country or the country of origin of the accused?
@@dexterwestin3747 WTF is wrong with you troop?
@@radman1136 Uh, what?
(These) men should be fully castrated. Cut everything off and out. Or better yet, Jailed and made to be someone's girlfriend.
@@mkb5984 So are you saying that someone can earn or deserve their raping?
These abusers should be caught, trialed and sentenced to death.
@One bannan Don't project your fantasies into this discussion please.
Agreed
This is sad. Thank God for these true journalists. God Bless them 🙏🏼🌹
That is what jurla journalism is so important and should be protected encouraged to foster and we should all be little mini journalists now that we all have an hd camera and microphone I. Each of our pockets.
This story would be more proof there is no god
@@atakorkut5110 you are absolutely correct, sir, and that's why the ruling class has to censor the internet.
@@bgguitarss No, just more proof of the coming birthing pains.
As these come to light, society will unravel as trust disintegrates.
Indeed. Amen.
The survivors are so brave for speaking out. Thank you for telling your story to the reporter in this piece. You are helping stop the future rapes of women (and possibly men) & children I hope.
Truly DISTURBING, and DISGUSTING! “ How could someone did that to someone else under the name of peace? “
Keepers of PEACE! Disgusting people.
Thanks for highlighting this kind of unheard abuses by UN. This really great work by Ramita Navai and her team.
Why does it take a journalist(s) to find out these cases, but not the UN and it's representatives on the ground. What are they there for? This is such a shameful silence on the part of the United Nations that bring those troops in the conflict zones.
The UN is a massive international bureaucracy, a mini government. As such, they obfuscate and cover up as a matter of course.
They have no oversight …
Because they don't care! Those guys are horny and want to screw anything that moves, and a lot of the higher ups would no doubt do the same.
Rape should be punished with castration…globally!! Sick of these gross “men” getting away with this violence…All normal men should stand the hell up and say NO MORE…it is sickening
If normal men said NO MORE, they would be called racists
@@ronfroehlich4697 Oh I see…anti White??
Global castration? Well that would probably help with over population.
@@dexterwestin3747 Yes for all rapist…I mean come on…if you can’t get laid voluntarily, then get a job and pay someone who is willing
If so many cries of rape wherent false it would've been taken more serious..
Every UN officer is criminally accountable and responsible. He/she should be required to give dna samples upon signing up to be an officer so respective countries can track down and prosecute perpetrators. How hard is it in this day and age to put this requirement in place?
EXCELLENT IDEA!!!!
I wouldn't agree to be a peacekeeper if someone wants a DNA sample just in case they want to try to find me later. This is sub-Saharan Africa were the threat of rape from a peace keeper is probably 1000 times less likely than the indigenous population. Are you going to get a dna sample from everyone of them also?
@@dexterwestin3747 Good. We wouldn’t want people like you ‘ protecting’ vulnerable people anyway. So because the local population does it, supposed peacekeepers shouldn’t be held accountable? If you have no intention of causing any harm, why should you object? Stay out if you can’t comply. Don’t pretend you’re helping while insidiously causing harm to the local community. Better men and women would step up. Your kind is poisonous

@@salmam.n6013 Why would I object? You want to put my dna in some database like a criminal getting fingerprinted? Are you serious? And why are they vulnerable in the first place? What happened that an international body had top go in to keep the peace? If it would were up to me I would stay out of the continent of all together and let them solve their own problems.
It took the Congolese producer ONE DAY to find multiple victims. Both the UN & Member States need to be held accountable.
Yeah they simply don't care 😠
The rapists who left babies behind should be put in jail and fined (and need to provide for the future of their children). All victims should be compensated, the perpetrators should be put in jail, and the UN officials and member states' officials in charge of the peacekeepers should be held accountable.
But that's the thing. I hve never seen a baby that was born from these rapes. Show me the babies that were left behind.
Terrible. I hope they rot in prison and become the victims.
This.
This is the reason journalism is called the fourth pillar of democracy. Kudos to the team.
Great documentary! Thanks for highlighting such an important issue.
Wow😿.
Listening to Bordeaux speak subsequently makes me sick. Such an atrocity!
God bless the journalists for exposing these evil people.
There should be more than just jail time for the soldiers responsible for these atrocities, there should also be sanctions and consequences for the countries who are responsible for these soldiers. These refugees have suffered enough being forced to leave their country due to violence or war, then to have to suffer further by those that are supposed to be tasked with protecting them and keeping them safe. That the UN is doing nothing to stop this is atrocious, and that the soldiers committing these vulgar and heinous actions suffer little in the way of accountability is laughable. More needs to be done to improve the protection of these vulnerable communities, but the refugees also need to be more proactive and demand something be done to prevent this from happening again. I know they’re in a perilous position, but that shouldn’t stop them from speaking up. They need to leave their fear of retribution and shame behind and stand as a community, it is the only way this will be dealt with and stopped. It needs to be thrown in the UN keeper's faces that they will not be silenced. Journalists also need to keep up the pressure on the UN leaders to hold those accused accountable to the highest extent. It's bullshit that the French government is just blowing these accusations off as a ploy for the refugees to get some money out of this. If they’re willing to stoop to this level then it must be taken to the highest level of those in the UN, it’s a shame that an organization put in place to keep those in need safe is itself taking advantage of the very people they're tasked to protect. It’s a never-ending cycle of abuse at all levels of the UN bureaucracy and I’m afraid that will never change.
I pray for justice. These children have such difficult lives and the UN makes their lives more challenging
Prayers for these young ladies. I know many American women who deal with the aftermath of rape from their childhood. It’s horrible and should be punishable by death.
Now I understand why the United Nations high commission on human rights hasn’t done anything at the Mexican United States border. Disgusting.
To translate that to woke new speak, “unacceptable”.
This is horrible. A 10 year old? How could they be so cruel
And she has some SORRY, DESPICABLE parents who did not even attempt to report the UN soldiers for abusing their daughter
Wake up!!! Let's stop accepting abuse as NORMAL!!!
I don't think that any half decent human being accepts abuse as NORMAL.
And yet...... things will continue.
How can the u.n. army be able to continue to operate with all of the atrocities they commit world wide.
Best journalism on 📺 today
If Penal Capital was issue on all the peace keepers upon sexual abuse on foreign lands , a sexual predator would think twice before signing up for those missions. The personal trauma this poor victims are living their destroyed lives cannot be repay with a bastard just put in jail for some dog years.
How about Covering the Faith that doesn't distinguish Children with polygamy of upto 4 wives ?
Incredibly devastating
Still waiting... Why does the UN and the countries providing these so called peace keepers not prosecute these criminals and give meaningful support (counseling is good but no where near enough) to those abused?

Heart wrenching. Great investigative work
These babies where already hurting they needed help.
Now we have even more reasons not to give the UN or any of its offshoots any donations
Just what I was thinking before getting to your comment..... ON POINT Paul
When the peace keepers can't even be trusted to keep peace, but instead they destroy!
For the interviewer to hold her emotions back and also give that man her terrifying look of disgust was something else to look at. That man still has no remorse for what he did and you can tell he wanted to smile while looking at her
Someone should have busted his noz...🤥
It's just unthinkable and heinous. You have done commendable job. I appreciate your work... Thanks
46:40 Bad publicity is the only thing that gets the UN to do anything and the same with member states. Citizens need to protest for prosecution.
This sort of abuse has been publicly available knowledge for decades
Keep up the good work Well done mam.
i can never understand why these docs can never properly hide faces. like dude you showed the voice, the bottom half of the face and her location. not much do you need after that to find em
That's what's driving me up the wall too. I mean WTF? Already the predators are being shielded by their countries and UN, yet this documentary is BLATANTLY exposing these victims' identities? F'd up😢
I am sad for my people 😭😭😭😭
Protect what identity ?? You think they can't recognize the girls by her voice and face ?
They are not protecting their identities obviously. This camera person is diabolical. He/she knows editing. Why are they capturing both the top half and bottom half of the victims' faces? I mean WTF? Something sinister is happening here... Don't feel right 1 bit.
Listening to those UN officials dancing around the fact that a journalist can find victims in one day that they haven’t for years, loudly says to me - NOBODY CARES. If they did, there’d be action
so sad, so infuriating, and most terrible thing is that
absolutely the same confessions about horrors of rape and abuse you could film in Bosnia.
This is sickening. All the firings, hirings, interviews and pretense of accountability is nothing short of theater. Seems like nothing is seriously being done to help the existing victims and prevent new ones. Frontline is doing the UN’s job they claim has been so hard to do.
put them in jail for life.....rape is the cruelest thing to do to a child....
Very heartbreaking stories. These chaps need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
This is heartbreaking💔
Thank you frontline
African women &women around the world we have suffered a lot a lot 💔💔😪😪

It's so easy to end this if they wanted.
If you think this is horrible just wait until someone puts a spotlight on them harvesting organs from the alive.
The 1980s we had the same UN behaviors--I am sure it never stopped.
Couldn’t trace them or won’t trace them.
Hell is going to be over populated indeed
This reminds me of the catholic church sexual abuse scandal
Heartbreaking..heinous!!!
All of the perps mentioned are men. Perhaps this also tells the story of how the male dominated UN overseas missions might be better served with more women, not that women are perfect but they tend to have a less chance of offending in this area also having more women in leadership poistions tends to help prevent the code of silence that is an issue also.
This is sad.
The journalist eyes filled with pain, she asks, "Annie, why did you think this soldier would be different?"
Annie replies, "He way white."
At this point.
I drop everything and decide to watch this to the end.
I want to know why peace keepers become terrorists in regions they are meant to protect.
Thank you PBS for another amazing documentary. ❤
These peace keepers need to be under a prison.
So this is what UN is doing if they aren't trying to ban anime for the 3rd time.
3 mins into the documentary and I'm already traumatized
We need this kind of journalist which are working on behalf of the poor,not journalist which always protecting corrupt officials..... South Africa 🇿🇦
UN peace keepers used to come from Sarajevo for RR to my island on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, during the Croatian war for independence in the early 90's. There was trouble every time they were here, which was easily taken care of, But I'm sure they will remember Dalmatians for the rest of their lives.

Oh my God. They are so hypocrites. NO! YOU ARE NOT DOING EVERYTHING YOU CAN. GONGO HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VICTIM
It is heartbreaking 💔 and sad.
Anywhere there are vulnerable people, there will gather predators.
This brakes my heart
This is so triggering
Someone need to put up a list of these people to the internet so that everyone knows who they are and we can all shun these people.
It's a shame and so heartbreaking. Prayers and justice for the victims
How the hell does this happen. Especially within the UN?!
This is an interesting channel

I’m sick of everyone. Yeah completely. How about that. Right there. Yeah
this topic is super old at least 30 years ago they were talking about it but it is still interesting to watch

if you know and it’s within your power to do something and you don’t do it, you are an accomplice to the act. That means that all these people are the same as the people who committed the act. Or they have the same heart
Once again you did it ..but so sad that this children are been sexually exploited just because they are starving and this countries as well as the US are doing nothing.

@@dexterwestin3747 well this is my country after all but the US only has a saying when its vicinity .. what they are doing to children as powerful as it somewhat should do something.. because they can.. like what the soldiers did in Nam.. same thing except they were Americans or not going far what they did in the Middle East urinating on ppl that were detained or stealing.
12:34 Why he runs like Naruto? lol
This is government. On every level.
protip: there are loads of non ces in charity organizations as well
what a shame. many people haven't come out. because most countries in Africa would keep silent, as it is consider shameful and the victim and the family would be stigmatise and blame for it. so it is easier for them to keep it to themselves. I can't imagine the amount of pain they went through.
Well done.
Sending soldiers to peace keep missions...
Wow, I am disgusted!! With no criminal accountability, the abuse becomes acceptable and will not only continue, but increase and become common. Over 200 children with DNA to prove who the fathers are!! That is probably a tiny percentage. The UN says they try to find and support victims, yet the press can find them with minimal effort. UN must not be trying very hard. They give the impression they don't care any more than the peacekeepers who abuse them and then leave. These people barely have basic needs like food and clean water. The last thing they should worry about is those who are there to help!!!
How can I report on molestations
There appears to be no decent humans left in the world
