x i, whether i was reporter, serious looking at fund gladish, a truth setting us un peacekeepers who are accused of murder and torture. monica jones from me on the news team in berlin, as always, thank you so much. the sometimes the best news channels right now that you out to the highlight for every week. not the, not the one of mankind's oldest ambitions to be within reach. what is it really is possible to reverse the researches and scientists all over the world for in a race against time? they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature.

the boy likes watching it on youtube dw documentary 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 printing useless troops as a pretty broad ones as well. with this investigation, we can reveal that at least 2 countries, some piece super as that were implicated in torture and murder dot com

i barely can ask you multiple extrajudicial giddings, including cold blooded candid 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 worldwide, it's one of the largest contributors of troops to un missions. cheer up on good actions, you in 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 years 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 a matter of pride, but also a lucrative one. un peacekeepers receive higher salaries than they do back home and then un reimburses 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, can't contribute to introduce keeping us here something 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 rad, 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 un 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 rob 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 in p. i'm deployed as basically 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. but 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 bullet need. 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 bangladesh and security forces. my name is james moultrie. i was a member of the committee against georgia and prophets here 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. 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. a pacified military personnel files and un 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 intelligent swing supports killing operations and runs a secret network of torture cells hidden deep within many of rods compounds there cuz they will come in funny little, some cells have equipment for water boarding wrap, the whole sized method wanted

a therapy job. it can be used to make people told people to have a little bit of ration. so these men who are part of a unit that routine new tortures. why didn't anyone stop them from becoming 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, mckenna them, or even an interest in holding people to accomplish human rights violations, that process is not working. confronted with our findings, un peacekeeping in the our roads. we do not have the resources to review the information of all personnel deployed and the vast majority of troops perform well . just think with 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. i'm francis harrison. i run the international truth and justice project, which is an organization that collects evidence around the end of the war post for violations, for lanka. her laptop is full of photos and testimonies that document the atrocities committed during through long as decades on civil war,

harrison alerted us to this photo. the man pointing out the bodies is generally sure vendor of sofa. she commanded an instant as to unit that the un says committed war crimes. never the last 10 years later, the 3 months in government promoted 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 would suspend she long an 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 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 slide for victims of the civil war if the violation sent to see that a this is infinity 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 you and assistant director general of human rights from 2016 to 2009. as such, g is 1st hand knowledge of what happens when the un pushed countries to exclude

a legit human rights abusers. one country that was really important literally said okay, we're going to pull out or together. i'm the you and 2nd general at that time to go to basic direct country and since apologize of that as they otherwise, like for you, every single ration 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 oppose their troops out of peacekeeping operations. leaving the supplying of troops to countries like bangladesh, pockets on egypt or china, many of which are known to have abuse of security forces. there's like situations

where literally thousands of people could be killed in the absence of un 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. oh, that's quite a shocking admission. isn't it sending 2 or 3 bad apples? i mean, let's look at what the bad apples function like i have done. it will obviously be very difficult to at face in the piece that such a mission would create. wish a cat who goes abroad is a piece of paper because they go in on name the . it looks like an egg and it has a lot qualities. and it's like one yet it's

chicken played no pos and it's creation into the bar trees, researches of brooding as a resource and environmentally friendly alternatives to this popular animal product, which suspect tomorrow today w, icon of the automobile is turning the w gall of the car has been sold, world was no other car has remained so to move. so we celebrate. it's a story and move to the future. will the goals into the world? if you're a mac in 30 minutes on the w 4,
