Combating+the+abuse+of+children+by+aid+workers

Combating the abuse of children by aid workers Many countries in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa have been dealing with the issues of child abuse regarding service workers, whether it be aid workers or even UN security forces. However the majority of the problems lie in Africa where the greatest amount of child abuse is met from the aid workers. Many of the children involved are poor, hunger-struck children who are being taken advantage of by the aid workers which have the food and shelter the children need. Sudan stands firm that actions need to be taken with any counts of abuse reported by people in this region, as well as set up an investigation committee focused on protecting these children from the aid workers. Further enforcement should be carried out by the organizations who offer and implement aid operations and punishments for abuse of children should be dealt with on an international strict judicial programme such as the ICJ or ICC. Many nations have filed complaints about the fact that the aids workers take advantage and have been neglected and ignored by the UN. Countries such as Cote D'Ivoire have repeatedly had problems with aids workers raping and harassing the very people they were sent to help. An agency called "[|Save the Children]" has also repeatedly reported that it has observed many cases throughout the world and especially in the Southern Sudan and Haiti regions. Not much action has been taken against this issue even though the UN is trying its best to monitor and enforce the rights of the people they are helping. The major problem however is that the areas needing the most aid and help are usually the ones in which it is hard to control the actions of aids workers and where people, especially children are the most desperate and can be easily manipulated. Despite this fact, Sudan believes that countries should look out for certain incidents of harassment and report them directly to the UN or appropriate body in order for justice to be brought upon the offenders. Sudan feels that NGO's are too loose regarding the enforcement of proper conduct of their aids workers, and should take measures appropriate to the rights of all the people being helped.

1. Calls upon NGO’s to screen and monitor the actions of all their aid workers and to be held responsible for any incident or breach in human rights by any of their aid workers. 2. Calls upon the UN to recognize and enforce justice on reported cases of abuse of children by aid workers such as the cases reported in Cote D’Ivoire 3. Asks that all governments ruling over countries with aids workers to fully condemn the actions abuse and furthermore support and enforce the human rights of the children.
