The UN killed thousands of Haitians with cholera in 2010 and was then granted immunity in U.S. court

[Note: May 30, 2021— This is another example of the type of organization that the United Nations actually is.  Many people are under the impression that it is some sort of a “benevolent organization” with “high minded ideals,” however it is actually an instrument of an unelected dictatorial world government that is run by privately owned central banks.  Its innocuous facade is cultivated to make it seem “humane and altruistic,” but its agendas actually forward harmful ulterior motives.  This article has been updated and moved from Open Minded Realism to News of Interest.TV.]

This article is a summary of a September 2, 2016 New American article by Alex Newman entitled “UN Killed Thousands of Haitians With Cholera, Claims Immunity,” which explains that a leaked UN report shows the UN’s guilt in dumping raw sewage into a Haitian river in 2010 that caused a widespread epidemic of cholera that killed potentially tens of thousands of people, while former President Bill Clinton was the UN “Special Envoy for Haiti” overseeing UN relief efforts following the catastrophic earthquake that struck that region.

Officially, almost 10,000 Haitians died from the epidemic, but studies show that potentially as many as 30,000 have succumbed to the disease that was caused by the UN.  At least 800,000 became infected after almost 500 UN troops from Nepal who were sent to occupy Haiti were dumping their raw sewage into the rivers that Haitians used for drinking water, bathing, and washing.  Studies show that the disaster could have been averted for as little as $2,000.

The UN has always claimed immunity in court for its crimes in Haiti, which include the negligence of dumping toxic sewage into public drinking water, deliberately killing unarmed civilians on other occasions, as well as the widespread sexual exploitation and abuse of children across Haiti by the UN forces who occupied the country.  The UN is largely dominated by unfree governments and dictatorships.

Thousands of Haitian victims of the UN’s cholera-spreading actions have banded together to sue the UN in US court, but the UN has refused to even appear in court, citing diplomatic immunity, and on August 18 a US court actually even agreed with the UN and the Obama administration that the UN is above the law, and it dismissed the lawsuit.

A confidential report sent to the UN by a law professor Philip Alston on August 8, 2016 was leaked to the press, stating that among other things, the cholera epidemic that struck Haiti starting in 2010 “would not have broken out but for the actions of the United Nations.”

In the report, Alston also said, “[It is] morally unconscionable, legally indefensible and politically self-defeating.  It is also entirely unnecessary.  ...  [It] upholds a double standard according to which the U.N. insists that member states respect human rights, while rejecting any such responsibility for itself.  ...  [The policy also] provides highly combustible fuel for those who claim that U.N. peacekeeping operations trample on the rights of those being protected.”

The UN boss Ban Ki Moon’s deputy spokesman Farhan Haq responded to the New York Times about the matter, saying: “Over the past year, the U.N. has become convinced that it needs to do much more regarding its own involvement in the initial outbreak and the suffering of those affected by cholera.  ...  [To that end,] a new response will be presented publicly within the next two months, once it has been fully elaborated, agreed with the Haitian authorities and discussed with member states.”  He also claimed that Ban’s office “wanted to take this opportunity to welcome this vital report.”

Other reports about the UN Cholera issue in Haiti have been coming out as well.  A report by the UN’s investigations department known as the “Office of Internal Oversight Services” explains that for years, UN forces across Haiti dumped sewage into public Haitian canals and even ignored warnings from laboratories about the fecal contamination, and they also failed to maintain water-treatment plants at the UN camps.  The report supplies “smoking-gun” evidence of the UN’s guilt, which is no surprise as the UN has a fanatical obsession with reducing the human population, in particular reducing the number of Africans.

Other UN reports document similar criminal negligence by UN missions around the world.  It appears that they often dump their waste using unsanitary methods and create massive public health hazards for the people they are supposedly sent to protect, and they then lie about doing so and hide behind “diplomatic immunity” to avoid accountability for the massive death and suffering that they cause.

A longtime Haitan journalist Jonathan Katz reported, “Once you start lying about something at the beginning, once you start covering up what you’ve done, literally, I mean I watched the soldiers at that base dig up their pipes and literally cover up evidence, once you start doing that, it’s very hard to stop.  Because then not only do you have to admit what you did in the first place, you then have to admit also, you’ve been lying about it for all these years.  There need to be mechanisms, there need to be systems to hold powerful people, powerful countries, powerful entities, responsible for the things they do in places where people are very, very vulnerable.”

The UN forces have also earned a reputation as being savage predators who exploit and terrorize the local population, as UN troops are now infamous in Haiti for raping and sexually abusing women and even children, and doing so with impunity.  In one case, UN troops kidnapped a mentally handicapped young boy and brutally raped him for five years, and in another case a Haitian boy was raped by UN troops in an incident that sparked a global outcry.  Similar horrors occur all over the world, from trafficking child-sex slaves out of Yugoslavia to raping young children across Africa and Asia.  In one Ivory Coast town, a survey revealed that eight out of 10 under girls reported being regularly sexually abused and raped by UN forces.

UN forces have also been known to kill Haitians with impunity, such as in 2006 when UN forces entered the Haitian community of Cité Soleil and began massacring random people, including children and pregnant woman, as a form of collective punishment for a protest that the UN was unhappy about.  Similar massacres have happened before and after, sometimes involving the murder of dozens of civilians or more.

The UN’s approach to all of these atrocities is to cover it up as best as they can and claim diplomatic immunity, while whistleblowers are ruthlessly persecuted by top officials.

The New American article says: “It is time for U.S. taxpayers to stop funding the UN’s deadly and grotesque crime spree.  The best way to do that would be to pursue an American exit from the dictators club — also known in Congress and beyond as an ‘Amexit’.  Legislation already in Congress, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act (HR 1205), would end U.S. membership in the UN and evict its spy-infested headquarters from American soil.  All that is needed for the bill to become law is sufficient public pressure on Congress.  In the meantime, lawmakers should cut off all funds for the corrupt and deadly UN as soon as possible.”
