The Fox and the Hen House?

So I'm cynical. But I have to wonder about the consistently misplaced faith in the U.N. the world seems to have: Human trafficking police manual for UN developed in Canada.

A UN training manual to help police around the world combat the scourge of human trafficking is being developed with the assistance of the RCMP.

The UN estimates that more than 700,000 people a year, mostly women and children, are victims of the crime.

The police manual will help teach officers in 192 countries how to identify and interview victims of human trafficking, and how to protect them.

Is this the same U.N. that had a Child Refugee Sex Scandal in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea? Is it the same U.N. who's own "peacekeepers" have failed to be prosecuted for "sex offenses ranging from rape to assaults on minors"? Is this because they did such a good job in the Congo?

Maybe the Canadians are far more trusting, but I have seen little evidence that the U.N. does more than sit in a big room trying to pass resolutions while their own peacekeepers destroy lives. To expect the U.N. to do anything tangible against human trafficking is a joke at best, and at worst it will cost lives until real governments with the power to do something take action.
