A
human rights investigator who claims she was sacked for
exposing the sexual abuse of Bosnian women by her United
Nations colleagues, told a tribunal that girls as young as
15 were offered for sex," the Daily Telegraph of London
reports.
"Kathryn Bolkovac, 41, said women were forced to dance
naked in Bosnian bars frequented by UN police officers. . . .
"The former American policewoman claims she was sacked
because she sent an email to Jacques Paul Klein, the chief of
UN mission in Bosnia-Hercegovina, which highlighted the
sexual exploitation of women by those who had been sent to
protect them from the sex trade."
Bolkovac was employed by U.S.-based DynCorp, which responded
that she was fired for time-card irregularities. Bolkovac
denied the charge. Instead, "she said she also found that
international staff were helping local police to sell women
for the sex trade and she feared this was being 'covered
up,'" the Telegraph said.
