United Nations Officials Accused of Abusing Women

According to a confidential United Nations report, officials of the U.N. have raped women in the Congo. They also engaged in prostitution with women, promising them jobs, food, and money for sex. Hearing of this story just boggles my mind. How in the world can someone be an official U.N. peacekeeper, but at the same time engage in such horrible acts. This would seem to do the exact opposite of keeping the peace between countries. Some sort of action should be taken towards these officials to set an example for everyone to see.
