police i after a sting operation in october 2004, before being handed over to french authorities and charged with rape. bourguet was not the only u.n. employee accused of sexual misconduct. there were 72 allegations of exploitation and abuse in the u.n.'s congo mission between may and september 2004. >> all of this is utterly immoral and complete at odds with our mission. >> navai: u.n. secretary-general kofi annan sent his special adviser, zeid ra'ad al hsein, to investigate. wh he was shocked b he found. >> sitting and listening to what victims were saying was reallydi urbing. i said it was akin to a liguard jumping into a poo and instead of saving someone who was drowning, to actually drown them, almost.

criminal accountability, thas the only thing that really matters. someone who rapes a woman, a girl, should go to jail. if they don't go to jail, nothing else matters. d toavai: zeid's report tr address this. emr military peacekeepers, he recommended thatr states hold courts martial in the country, making it easier to access witnesses and evidence. for civilian peacekeepers, he recommended an international agreement to ensure those accused of abuse wld face criminal prosecution. but there's been no widespread effort by u.n. member states to adopt the measures >> it is very simply the truth that the decision-making authority rests with the member ates, rests with the 193 governments of the united nations. and the u.n. secretariat, the civil servan working in

>> navai: bourguet is theex ption, not the rule. he remains the only civilian peacekeeper to have been jailed for sexual abuse while working abroad for the u.n. most civilian peacekeepers don't even end up in court, and to pois day, member states have resisted the prols aimed at changing that. >> the u.n. itself doesn't have the ability to try these people. it is dependent on the home country to try. nt and the home c often doesn't have the ability to collect the evidence or to have s process, and that's, tha catastrophic loophole.
