Return of $12.00 per $1 : Very Strong Case Against Belarus

Description Of Legal Dispute

This investor-State treaty arbitration is being brought under a bilateral investment treaty between Belarus and Ukraine. The claim is for the wrongful expropriation of the foreign investor’s steel tube factory by Belarus and the foreign investor’s illegal imprisonment for a period of 6 years in a hard labor camp for no good reason.

The notice of dispute for this case is available online here:http://www.italaw.com/sites/default/files/case-documents/italaw1607.pdf

Claimant was involved in negotiations with Belarus to settle the dispute which have failed. Claimant now requires additional funds to pay for the fees of ICSID and the arbitral tribunal that has jurisdiction to hear his case. Unfortunately, the funding of an investor-State arbiration is very expensive. The arbitral tribunal fees and the ICSID fees alone cost, on average, USD 700,000. While Mr. Mykhailenko’s lawyers are assisting, an additional USD 500,000 needs to be raised to see it through to its end.

What Happened?

Mr. Mykhailenko began his investments in Gomel, Belarus, in 1999, creating the country’s first factory for the production of cold-shaped seamless steel pipes for both the domestic and export markets. The business did well and came to employ 50 Belorussians and was expanding until 17 May 2005, when armed officers of the State Security Agency of Belarus (the Belarus KGB) showed up, unannounced, at the factory in Gomel, and arrested Mr. Mykhailenko at his place of business.

The Belarus KGB falsely accused him of impersonating the Director of the factory in Gomel, and when he would not confess since the statement was untrue, they held him in detention for 11 months in insalubrious conditions, allowing him very little contact with the outside world.

New charges were brought against him after nine of the eleven months of preliminary detention, and the initial criminal charge was abandoned. The new charges were also ludicrous. For instance, Belarus’ prosecutor accused Mr. Mykhailenko of failing to repay a bank loan although the bank itself provided an affidavit that loans were always paid until he was detained by the Belarus KGB and could obviously not do so.

The judicial procedure that followed in Belarus was a farce that was criticized by human rights lawyers in the country. For instance, the Belarus KGB stopped the judge when it did not like the direction the proceedings were heading. In a travesty of justice, the judge expropriated Mr. Mykhailenko’s factory and sentenced him to six years in a hard labor camp, the maximum punishment available in the criminal code, despite Mr. Mykhailenko’s lack of any previous record and the fact that he had done nothing wrong.

Despite appeals and the intervention of the Ukrainian embassy, nothing could be done, and Mr. Mykhailenko was forced to spend six years in detention and his factory was expropriated with no compensation.

A third-party funder previously agreed to fund this case but backed down due to a disagreement concerning witnesses. William Kirtley, who serves as legal counsel in the case, indicates that it “should be impossible for this case to lose if an arbitral tribunal with integrity is selected,” and that “I will be very glad to be one of the first investors in this case. The only potential issue I see at this time is enforcement, since it is unknown whether Belarus will willingly respect the arbitral tribunal’s decision, as it is obliged to do under international law.”

Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Mykhailenko or his lawyers if you would like to learn more about his case, and we thank you in advance for pledging to support it. If a single entity would like to fund the entirety of the case please let Mr. Mykhailenko know, since the terms of funding are not set in stone.

Description Of Legal Dispute

Following more than 10-months of haggling on an insurance damage claim, valued in excess of $150,000, the insurers finally confirmed liability in September 2015, where they made a token payment of £5775 on the whole claim!

Lacking the legal expertise to push the rest of the payment, I submitted all of the documentation to a lawyer dealing with insurance matters. He was willing to take on the case SUBJECT TO an initial retainer downpayment of £5000, which I do not have. He has not asked for any other payment for services other than the additional court filing fees which could amount to 4.5%(another £5000) for amounts claimed in excess of £100,000.

The lawyer is waiting for the retainer by early February 2016, or the damage recovery will go unpaid.

What is Arbitration ? What are its main advantages?

It is a form a conflict resolution that consists in avoiding litigation. Resorting to arbitration means the parties involved choose to settle a legal dispute in private, rather than taking it to court. The most common types of arbitration are commercial arbitration, consumer arbitration and labor arbitration.

Main advantages of arbitration:

• It is consensual: Arbitration cannot take place if both parties do not agree to it. This process is rather informal and less time consuming since it does not follow strict legal stages. In most cases, litigants find it also advantageous because it is a faster way to resolve a conflict.

• It is neutral and parties choose the arbitrator(s): Litigants are free to choose one or more arbitrator. They need to find a mutual understanding on who will be the best person to settle their dispute. Ideally both parties opt for a third-party who is not only impartial but also has the desired knowledge, experience and expertise to impose a final decision.

• It is confidential: Generally, it is strictly confidential. It is particularly important to respect certain restrictions on documents’ disclosure. Hence, arbitrators must remain discrete. Both parties are then heard and the sentence is made public only with their consent. In the same way, nor the media or the public should intervene.

There are also some disadvantages in choosing this method such as a lack of transparency, the rising costs, the fairness of the final decision and sometimes a party questions the arbitrator’s objectivity. It is also important to keep in mind that in most cases the final decision cannot be appealed unless there is evidence of corruption or fraud.

Before opting for a resolution technique, be aware of the possible drawbacks and get advice from your lawyer in order to make an informed and adequate decision.

The Stages of Civil Litigation

A civil litigation aims at resolving disputes before going to civil Courts. It is when two or more parties -individuals or organizations- enter in a legal dispute and seek financial compensation.

The process of civil litigation can be lengthy since in some cases it can go through as up to seven stages: investigation, pleadings (the plaintiff and the defendant both explain their side of the dispute), discovery process, pre-trial, trial (both parties disclose evidence in support of their claim), settlement, and possibly; appeal (one party might be dissatisfied with the outcome of the trial and appeals to a higher court).

However, not every civil litigation requires going through each of these stages; most lawsuits are settled prior to trial and many cases that reach a trial verdict are not appealed. In contrast to popular belief, litigators spend little time in court, the discovery process is the most time-consuming and intensive stage of civil litigation.

Some Civil Litigation cases are hosted on Invest4Justice

My Case Is Halfway Over. Is It True That I Can Crowdfund It?

It does not matter which phase a case is in, it can always be crowdfunded, as long as there has not been a final and binding judgment.

Actually, many investors prefer cases that are nearing the end of a long procedure, since this reduces the duration for returns. It is therefore typically easier to fund a case that has already begun than a case that has yet to be commenced.

Why would someone want to crowdfund a case that is ongoing? There are many reasons, which include reimbursing already-paid legal costs, raising additional funds for the case, or simply raising additional funds for living expenses.

Litigants have absolutely nothing to lose by seeking additional funds for a case that was begun previously. Please see our faq page for more information.

Return of $0.00 per $1 : BETTER DEFENSE FOR CHRISTOPHER GERZELI

Description Of Legal Dispute

As many of you know, Christopher Gerzeli, has been struggling with anxiety, depression and other mental health issues for over three years, and it became worse after the death of his beloved grandmother, Thelma Whitaker in November of 2014. As of November of 2015, he had been off his prescribed medication and was self-medicating for several months. Due to his drug abuse, his behavior became out of control and we had to take the necessary steps on Thanksgiving evening of last year when it all came to a head. .

His uncle, Johnny Whitaker, thought that Christopher was acting as if he was going to hurt his mother with a chair, frustrated and with no more patience for Chris’ self-destructive behavior, increased drug abuse and now threatening behavior, his uncle felt he needed to protect his little sister, Dora Whitaker Gerzeli and that Christopher needed some tough love and hopefully to be scared straight. Johnny took the chair and Christopher to the ground and the two started fighting… When they were separated, Johnny called 911, as he was hoping that by calling the authorities Christopher would be forced into drug rehabilitation. Christopher ran away before the police arrived and when the officer in charge asked his uncle, his aunt, his father and mother if we wanted to press charges against Christopher, we all stated, “NO” as we believed he was not a dangerous criminal but instead a very sick and drug-addicted young man who needed psychological/mental health support and we were told by the officer in charge that by placing him on a 51/50 (a 72 hour hold) to the psychiatric ward at the local hospital, this could save his life.

Unfortunately that did not happen. Although promised by the officer in charge, they did not take him to be evaluated as they told us they would, but instead arrested him and ultimately charged him with two felony counts of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, which could mean two strikes charged against him! (Three Strikes could mean 25 years to life in prison) His mother and uncle spent two entire days at the San Fernando Court on his behalf and trying to work with the mental health advocate at the court and his Public Defender.

After spending almost a month in county jail at Men’s Central in downtown LA, we THOUGHT we made verbal arrangements with the Deputy D.A. for Chris’ release to a Drug Rehab and dropping the charges to a misdemeanor, however, on December 21, 2015 we appeared at the court for this plea hearing with the understanding that his public defender, myself, and the Deputy District Attorney at the San Fernando courts had pretty much come up with a great plan. Christopher would plea to a lesser misdemeanor offense and with time already served in he could go to a court-ordered rehabilitation, and with good behavior and probation put this matter behind us.

On December 21, 2015, not only did the Deputy District Attorney not show up to court due to leaving for Christmas vacation early, but he did NOT giving ANYONE ANY information on the deal we had agreed to with the assistant DA on duty with any notes as to our previous arrangement. The best Chris was offered was to plead guilty on one charge and serve 2-5 years in prison and they would drop the other felony charge, thus “rewarding” him with only one felony strike!! Of course, that was absurd and completely and totally unwarranted, undeserved and totally unnecessary as this was his first offence. Christopher has a clean record and suffers from a mental health disorder, ADDICTION with possible others including clinical depression and anxiety.

So, because everyone who COULD make a deal for Chris didn’t show up for court because of the holiday season, he would have to go back to jail for at least another month or more! His own public defender and mental the health advocate both admonished me to do whatever we could to get Christopher out of jail, since it was becoming a very dangerous place for him to be and that he truly did not belong in jail with many of the other dangerous criminals. We took every last penny we had to bail him out of jail on his own recognizance. Now, under no court order, on December 23, 2015 he decided to go into rehab himself. He has learned a very difficult lesson and his experiences have definitely scared him straight. He is now almost 8 weeks clean and sober… This is the first time in almost 4 years that his mind has been completely clear from any kind of drugs and alcohol, and we may be finding that his psychiatric problems may all be due to due to drug induced psychoses.

We were able to see first-hand just how broken, lopsided, unfair and prejudicial our justice system is to the middle class and the poor. While waiting in court on December 21, 2015… Dora witnessed how those who had private attorneys were able to walk free with mile long wrap sheets and criminal records with terrible offenses like, grand theft auto, concealing of a weapon (gun), assault with a gun, etc… and those with much lesser offenses who had a public defender like Christopher, went back to jail!

Christopher is newly hopeful for a fresh and sober start to a new beginning, but fearful what the District Attorney’s new fate may hold out for him… His uncle’s intentions were never to destroy Christopher’s future, but to hopefully scare him into sobriety… Jail did scare him into sobriety, but unfortunately the justice system has now victimized all of us worse than can be imagined. The D.A. seems to be out to get Christopher and to make an example of him and charge him with felonies that will ruin his chances for successful future. Unfortunately, we can no longer put trust in our legal system and trust in a public defender that is paid by the same people who are paying the D.A. We are learning that the only way to ensure that Christopher is not charged with two felony counts and two strikes against him is to hire a private defense attorney that we trust will give him the best defense…

We have spoken with Christopher, who is doing great at the Antelope Valley Rehabilitation center in Acton, California, and we got his permission to set up a online fund raiser for his legal defense and he is 100% supportive of this venture.

After meeting with several attorneys, we believe we have found one with a local law firm here in Santa Clarita and who was a former prosecutor in San Bernardino. He is very familiar with how the prosecutors think and act. Typically for two felony charges, most attorneys ask for $10,000 up to $20,000 up front per felony charge, but ours is willing to take on our case for a total of $10,000.00!

We are reaching out to all of our family, friends and colleagues for any assistance you may have no matter how little or how big so we can try to raise the money necessary to hire the best defense for Christopher.

Thank you all for all of your love and support!!

Kindest regards always,

Dora, Stephen, Johnny, Laurie & Bill

Courage Is What It Takes To Stand Up And Speak

Litigation Support and Discovery Process

Litigation support is a technology that regroups case materials through computer systems. Files and documents are stored in an electronic database. In the same way, there are many litigation support software and tools such as Excel, processing tools, etc.… available and used to allow for collecting, processing, organizing, reviewing, analyzing and presenting legal evidence.

Litigation support professionals work with lawyers or attorneys during the “discovery process” in order to retrieve, organize, analyze and disclose key documents.

What is “discovery process”?

The discovery process consists in finding facts. It is when two opposite parties involved in litigation are requested to disclose information regarding the case. In the United-States, the State and Federal Court control this process.

The necessary discovery procedures to collect information in order to prepare a case are as follows:

• Interrogatories:

They consist in a list of questions relevant to the case sent to the opposing party and must be answered in a specified timeframe.

• Depositions:

Depositions are witness statements taken under oath. Usually they are done at a law firm and are always recorded by a court reporter. Then, the court reporter produces a deposition transcript that can be used during the trial.

• Requests for admission:

Requests for admission consist in asking the opposing party if some facts or allegations are true or false. This process is very important since it highlights the most relevant pieces of evidence. The other party can be severely penalized if it responds falsely or fails to respond in a timely manner.

• Requests for production of documents:

The opposing party can request seeing documents. Some of them are most likely stored electronically, so the opposing party must consult with the litigation support department.

If you are a litigant, you should not take the discovery process for granted. It can be lengthy, frustrating or even invading. Consult with your lawyer or if you have a litigation crowd-funding campaign on Invest4Justice, do not hesitate to contact our legal counsels at admin@invest4justice.com and get free advice.

Good luck!

Description Of Legal Dispute

Billionaire Holding Company that we sold some shares of our company, that I helped start in my home 23 years ago-did a sham 17 day reverse triangular merger–wE WERE TIED TO THE HIP of Apple Computer! 30-40% of our annual revenues.

I was the Original Accountant–I demanded inspection rights of the share registry, I believed I was due more shares–they said I had no rights to inspect and tried to get me to sign “releases” I balked and refused and had a witness who has attested multiple times

ATTORNIES for years have submitted a FORGED release contract to the Courts to win. tHEY FINALLY Admitted, on audio tape issued to me fROM THE APPEAL court that they don’t have the item!! I am about to have a hearing in ANOTHER COURT demanding them to show up WITH THE ORIGINAL…THEY ALSO admitted to the POLICE they have no original!! Share were in fact due me, with more due. THey robbed all of us near 180 MILLION! The I phone dropped 4 months after they stole our shares; I have proven out that the “merger” was a complete scam, and now they are placing altered financial documents before the current Court; I have a expert attesting those documents as altered.

I need a TOP NOTCH LITIGATOR to represent me at the HEARING!! I have filed all the papers and am ready to go – JUST NEED A PIT BULL…the three firms that took my work and research don’t want my case tied to the founders because I have already lost in a prior SJ hearing. My new action is against a different and responsible defendant on Breach of Contract, an action I didn’t bring before. My initial action was simply dissenter valuation rights and I lost because of the forgery. I have a Police Report AND THE SARGEANT said he would show up and TESTIFY

My claims are DAMAGES because it isn’t just the attornies, the Defendants receive my weekly emails of my claims and REFUSE to show the original ink or the share registry or to participate in discovery.

A billionaire holds my shares and converted holdings and he wrote me directly less than a year ago that he had control of the original documents-but that is NOT what the Police 60 days ago represented to me; they all say they “lost it”.

I have copies of checks and contracts of what they received for my shares; they threw us out at 1/54th of what they resold our shares for with no capital investment or additional assets or operations, just months later

Justice Requires Sacrifice

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Justice is not free. It cost the citizens to set in place representatives marking rules, law enforcement officers enforcing the rules, and judges making decisions about the rules.

It also cost the citizens to address broken rules. When there is a breaking away of the mentioned steps, there are additional costs the citizens must bear. There is a cost to examine, to have officials look at, to summarize, to fix, and to make right the wrong cause by the broken steps.

There is also an emotional and social cost upholding and repairing justice. Some have even suffered failed health due to injustices.

Do what you can to be that dedicated individual who will stand up for justice and encourage others to do the same. The following is an unjust legal case where you can make your stand. The defendant was handed down very harsh and incorrect sentences. These sentences have led to direct and indirect dire circumstances. The officials making the decisions have refused to listen to fair and objective reasoning. Please help this wrongly accused to obtain true justice, which Dr. King has preached and spoke about.

Justice Requires Sacrifice

In 2014, 1% of the Global Population owns 48% of the Planet’s Wealth

https://twitter.com/Oxfam/status/688922550735400960/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

The 62 wealthiest people in the world have as much as the 3.5 billion poorest people on the planet. They were 388 people 5 years ago. The reality highlighted by Oxfam is that the rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer: the gap between the two is increasing dramatically fast.

Last year, the combined wealth of the richest people in the world (1% of the global population) exceeded the one of the remaining 99%, according to a study led by Oxfam and published this Monday, 18th of January.

“Extreme inequality isn’t just a moral wrong. We know that it hampers economic growth and it threatens the private sector’s bottom line,” declared Winnie Byanyima, the executive director of Oxfam International.

The study entitled “Wealth: Having It All and Wanting More” published today and conducted by Oxfam shows that the wealth of the richest 1% has increased from 44% in 2009 to 48% 2014 and researchers claim that at this rate, it will potentially be more than 50% in 2016.

 “Do we really want to live in a world where the one present own more than the rest of us combined? The scale of global inequality is quite simply staggering and despite the issues shooting up the global agenda, the gap between the richest and the rest is widening fast”

 To put an end to this alarming trend, Oxfam suggests a list of measures that need to be implemented on a global scale and rapidly. One solution includes eradicating completely “the tax havens era”. In the light of the World Economic Annual Meeting held in Davos, Switzerland that will open this Wednesday, 20^th of January, the British NGO calls out to governments, companies and the global Elite to put an end to the tax havens era that trigger inequalities and prevent millions of people from getting out of poverty. Manon Aubry the Senior Advocacy Officer at Oxfam France declared: “we can’t keep letting hundreds of millions of people suffering from hunger when the resources that could help them are monopolized by a few on top of the ladder”. For instance, the report reveals that almost one-third of Africa’s wealth is contained in tax havens.

I Have a Dream by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I Have a Dream, Martin Luther King Jr.

by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Published August 28, 1963

Listen to his speech here https://archive.org/details/MLKDream

One paragraph in Dr. King’s speech that stands out today is “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ “

In 2016, all persons are not treated equal. The poor, middle, and rich classes are shown differential treatment. The young and old are separated in the type of conduct each receives. A wedge separates the women and men when dealings are done with each. Those of dark complexion still have a different set of behaviors directed toward them than those of light complexion.

What can be done to fix this great gulf between humans? It must start with each person making a definite decision not to be prejudice. Or it must start with a definite decision to be loving and kind to everybody. Then, each person is to act on his/her decision. It may take some training, learning, reading, and counseling to go through these steps. There may be some fear and strangeness when starting. But these feelings should not stop a person from doing something s/he believes is right and just.

There is one person who is crying out because of unequal and unjust treatment. In this unfair legal case, the defendant was handed down very harsh sentences. These sentences have led to direct and indirect dire circumstances. The officials making the decisions have refused to listen to fair and objective reasoning. Please help this wrongly accused to obtain true justice, which Dr. King has emphasized.

Injustice Anywhere Is A Threat To Justice Everywhere

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is a call to all to stand up for justice. If you do not stand up for fairness now, who will believe in fairness and stand up for it when you need someone. What you do now to help someone will come back to you in your time of need. The person does not need to be in your town, state, or country.

The following is a prime example where you can help someone in need today. In this unjust case, the defendant was handed down very harsh sentences. These sentences have led to direct and indirect dire circumstances. The officials making the decisions have refused to listen to fair and objective reasoning. Please help this wrongly accused to obtain true justice, which our founding fathers set in motion.

The Time Is Always Right To Do What Is Right

The time is always right to do what is right.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

We take this time to encourage all who know right from wrong to act, even if it is not the popular thing to do. Standing up for right will make each person happy in life. It will also make the person receiving the “right” encouragement a happy person. Stand up for right when a fellow human being is pushed down because of others causing wrong.

See the following legal case in how you can stand up for a victim pushed down. In this unjust case, the defendant was handed down very harsh sentences.

The Time Is Always Right To Do What Is Right

We the people--Rising above modern drama

It comes once in a lifetime, this moment, when all things fall away and we are able be who and what we are. Why must it be so fleeting? Why do we get caught up in the drama and lose the true potential of our existence?

We must not let them steal our time from us, little by little, day by day, it is our time, it is our lives, we shall not let them define our ability to choose our response to our circumstances.

What are our basic human rights? Can we recognize what is most important or shall it be told to us by an endless stream of media influence and governing officials and tyrants exercising government social control policies?

I say we rise above the modern drama, tear down the walls, pick up the broken pieces, and move forward into a realm where each person is a king or queen to unto themselves, is it too much too afford every person their personal dignity?

Set down your books, turn off your TV, walk out your door, and say hello to everyone you see with a smile on your face–just one day, and see how it feels, I will do the same this very tomorrow.

If you like what you read here—check out a campaign of a small company’s struggle for survival in a world fraught with modern drama as the company and it’s associates strive to transcend government corruption and realize a better tomorrow for the beneficial interest of those in which the company interacts.

Thanks for your consideration.

Silence Is Not Golden

Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.

Haile Selassie

Everyone is encouraged to vote for justice, especially during the current US political campaigns. Stand up for right constantly even when no elections are occurring. If no one stands up now for the unfortunate and helpless victims, who will stand up for us when we are down and in the same predicaments?

Following is a heartwrenching legal case you can vote to help today. In this unjust case, the defendant was handed down very harsh sentences.

The Absurdly Harsh Penalties That Sparked the Oregon Rancher Protest, commentary

The sentencing of 73-year-old Dwight Hammond and his son 46-year-old Steven Hammond is the reason for the peaceful protest at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.

This case demonstrates the practical impossibility of challenging harsh mandatory lowest sentences as violations of the Eighth Amendment’s ban on “cruel and unusual punishments.” It highlights the gap between what is right and what is legal; a gap that occasionally inspires judges to render decisions of fairness. A federal judge rejected federal mandatory minimums for Dwight and Steven Hammond as unconstitutional, however an appeals court disagreed. Viewing that sentencing “penalty as clearly unjust given the facts of the case, U.S. District Judge Michael Hogan instead imposed a three-month sentence on Dwight Hammond, who was convicted of one count, and two concurrent one-year sentences on Steven Hammond, who was convicted of two counts. Those terms were within the ranges recommended by federal sentencing guidelines that would have applied but for the statutory minimum, which Hogan rejected as inconsistent with the Eighth Amendment.”

A similar case is mentioned here. In this unjust case, the defendant was handed down very harsh sentences. These sentences have led to direct and indirect dire circumstances. The officials making the decisions have refused to listen to fair and objective reasoning. Please help this wrongly accused to obtain true justice, which our founding fathers instituted.

The Absurdly Harsh Penalties That Sparked the Oregon Rancher Protest, commentary

U.N. Peacekeepers abusing 13 years-old Prostitutes in Refugee Camps

09/17, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned sexual abuse allegedly carried out by U.N. peacekeepers. (UN Web TV)

An internal investigation led by the United Nations reveals some of its peacekeepers have been accused of having sexual relations with young girls under 13 years old in a refugee camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The M’Poko camp is located near Bangui international airport, which is the capital of the country.

The U.N. began its mission in Central Africa at the beginning of 2014, in order to help the country end the civil war. However, it has been marked by numerous scandals all related to alleged sexual attacks and sexual exploitation. Exactly 22 cases of sexual abuse or sexual exploitation have been attributed to the United Nations’ peacekeepers in the last 14 months.

In the camp of M’Poko in the Democratic Republic of Congo, at least four peacekeepers are being accused of having had sexual relations with underage prostitutes, according to the Washington Post. The girls were offered to soldiers for derisory sums of money: from 50 cents to 3 dollars, confessed a source -who prefers to remain anonymous. The nationalities of the four accused have yet to be communicated officially by the U.N. However and still according to the Washington Post, the 4 culprits have apparently been identified as being French, Moroccan, Burundian and Gabonese.

“The M’Poko camp is unfortunately a place where horrible, unacceptable things are happening to women and children”, said Anthony Banbury, who serves as United-Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Field Support. “In some cases, we have credible allegations that there are U.N. personnel that have committed these crimes”, he continued. For Anthony Banbury, the abuse perpetrated by peacekeepers “undermines everything the organization stands for”.

Ban Ki Moon recently named these sexual attacks “a cancer to our system” and is willing to publicly shame the countries whose peacekeepers are implied in this sickening abuse. “A failure to pursue criminal accountability for sexual crimes is tantamount to impunity,” he said. Countries must quickly investigate and hold their troops accountable.
