the reason looks at bangladesh, the troops serving as un peacekeepers, whoever keeps up in the end, told show, coming up now. i'm going to sit down for me in the team. thanks so much. the it could be green. green, old as blue. p s. twine, twine. lovely red. definitely pull just the yellow. yes, that's what you prefer. purple apples, very special. pacific georgia, choose your favorite color. what secrets live? you discover new adventures in 360 degrees.

and explore fascinating. both heritage dw world heritage 360. now the, their cold wind countries descend into war and turmoil. un peacekeepers often the last bastion to protect civilians when states fail. successful peacekeeping requires the highest standards of conduct by all are united nations peacekeepers, both cvn and uniforms. but what do we really know about those who are sent to bring peace? we get some really pretty useless troops as a pretty broad for the ones as well. with this investigation, we can reveal that at least 2 countries, some is keepers that were implicated in torture and murder back home.

i better witness to multiple extrajudicial giddings, including cold blooded clinic and that the un seemingly turned a blind eye. this is in tennessee written lodge, and nobody has done anything to stop that. the we're in the dash with nearly $6000.00 peacekeepers deployed world wide, it's one of the largest contributors of troops to un missions. cheer up on good options you when training grounds. soldiers prepare for their next appointment as peacekeepers or visit as carefully orchestrated. at no time. are we allowed to speak with any soldiers directly. instead,

there's the pure yours answer our questions about un deployments. this is a matter of pride for us, and we have an almost people willing to contribute in just giving them a matter of pride, but also a lucrative one. un peacekeepers receive higher salaries than they do back home, and the un reimbursed has countries for their equipment. according to government officials here, bangladesh has received more than $2500000000.00 us dollars over the past 23 years . as a mission over the past k. first, i can assure you that we will all of this be the queen, king contributor interface, keeping for yourself in us. but the image, the generals, are so carefully trying to present during our visit is only one side of the story. as for years,

human rights groups and political leaders have warned of wide spread abuse by bangladesh and security forces, the exact entities that make up the peacekeeping forces. and one group is of particular concern. the rapid action battalion, wrapped in a wheat force founder to fight terrorism and crime. in 2023, we revealed what the government continues to deny the rabbit murders of ducts and tortures with the complicity of the highest political levels. the after their student and rad officers are often sent on highly paid you and deployments. as a former rob commander confirmed to us, he was personally involved in human rights abuses and later deployed to un mission . out of that come with as far as i know, everybody goes to peacekeeping often having solved and robin for months. we

tried to verify his claim. military sources helped us get in touch with another former rob officer who is willing to talk to us been v. i am deployed as a but yeah, it is my you an identity god. this is a sketch of a video confession demand recorded for us while on a mission in africa. we corroborated his identity, but his condition for talking to us was that he remains anonymous. why instead of being add to that prediction, bethany and i be able to weakness to multiple exposure to shield giddings, including cold blooded beginning of say about a young man after the blood heat. he's got some blood and brain fragments, especially on my uniform un peacekeeping missions. cannot have him amongst them offices who may have been sponsible for these kind of very serious abuses that defeats the purpose of peacekeeping.

we went to copenhagen to meet a man who on behalf of the un, looked into human rights abuses by ben. good actually security forces. my name is hans moultrie. i was a member of the committee against georgia and proper to on the dish. motivate and the other committees experts were appointed by the us. the report on bangladesh published in 2019 stated, they were gravely concerned about rob's abuses. the recommendation was that the former and current members of wrap should not be allowed to as to do a service in peacekeeping operations. so in 2019, there was a clear recommendation to exclude members of rob. and what happened after the

report was published. as far as we could tell, nothing, we checked officers, social media accounts and analyze hundreds of photos, and found more men who went from rob to peacekeeping. the pacified military personnel files. and you end deployment lists helped us identify more than 40 former rob officers who were deployed after the committee's report was published. the 3 of them worked for rob's instruments, intelligence spring, to even as deputy directors are sources confirmed that the intelligence swing supports killing operations and runs a secret network of torture cells hidden deep within many of rod's compounds there . cuz i will come a funny little some sales have equipment,

but won't aborting radicals. this method wants to therapy, it can be used to make people talk with have a little bit of restaurant. so these men who are part of a unit that routine the tortures. why didn't anyone stop them from the coming peacekeepers? generally, it is up to the countries that send troops to select and that the majority of them but after several sexual abuse scandals involving peacekeepers, the un in 2012 implemented a new human rights policy. governments now have to certify that nominated soldiers have not committed any criminal offense or any violation of international human rights law or international humanitarian law. so for each of these 5 men who are most likely implicated in serious abuses, bangladesh must have signed this form. what is happening right now is that they are asking an abusive government to then decide which offices are

abusive or not. now since we know that there is no accountability, make kind of them, or even an interest in holding people to accomplish human rights violations. that process is not working. confronted with our findings, un peacekeeping, any our roads? we do not have the resources to review the information of all personnel deployed and the vast majority of troops perform well. this thing good us with seemingly able to circumvent the policy might other countries be doing the same in london, we met this woman who's been exposing human rights abuses for years. and for us as harrison, i run the international truth and justice project, which is an organization that collects evidence around the end of or post for violations, for lanka. her laptop is full of photos and testimonies that document the atrocities committed during 3 long. cuz decades one simple more

harrison alerted us, took this photo, the man pointing out the bodies, this generation vendor a sofa. she commanded an instant as the unit that the un says committed war crimes . never the last 10 years later to stream on can government promoters, shandra silver to a top position of arm each. as such, he was responsible for the deployment of hundreds of peacekeepers following an international outcry that you went announced it with suspension launch and army deployments, except for where suspension would expose you went operations to serious operational risk. so the one left the door open and indeed almost nothing changed. the, the one's own figures show that in 2019 sri lanka,

sense 687 peacekeepers. and one year after silver's appointment, it was still sending 665 trips. can you imagine would that slight for victims of the civil war if the violation sent to see that this is in truancy written lodge and nobody has done anything to stop that? if i stayed in the u. n, i probably wouldn't let this be this frank and to say we get some really pretty useless troops as a pretty brutal ones as well. during our research, we talked to many sources within the u. n. but this former official in berlin was the only one willing to go on the record. my name is andrew gilmore, i was the un is just infected right off the human rights from 2016 to 2009. as such, g is 1st hand knowledge of what happens when the u. n. pressure countries to exclude

a legend, human rights abusers one country that was really important, literally said okay, we're going to pull out or together under you. and 2nd general at that time to go basic to that country and apologize of that as they otherwise, like for you, empty supervision is, would have collapsed if you wouldn't tell us which country and stressed that the un does what it can. but it's testimony points to one thing. when it comes to peacekeepers, the u. n. is seemingly susceptible to blackmail. there's a reason for this face with often dudley emissions. many governments have posed their troops out of peacekeeping. operations is leaving the supplying of troops to countries like bangladesh, pockets on egypt or china, many of which are known to have a piece of security forces. there's like situations where literally thousands of

people could be killed in the absence or even peacekeepers, which when you have to balance things, perhaps sending 2 or 3 bad apples is or less bad option. then thousands of people getting killed as close as shocking admission. isn't it? sending 2 or 3 bad apples. i mean, let's look at what the bad apples from shalanda has done. it will obviously be very difficult to face in the piece that's such a mission would create. wish a cat who goes abroad is a piece of paper because they go in on name the last so special about this is this stable feed from gonna is made from time change cuz all the and yeah,

and it's amazing with lots of different seems tied mostly in the afternoons, so that's by evening suggestion, mastic and please follow us on the calendar. we just see how the country celebrates the same mistake of feedback on dw g music country destroyed, you can try, but it's the performed for her life and elsewhere. the musicians living under the swastika, a film about the sounds of an hour and 60 minutes on d. w. thoughts.
