cardin: well, i want to thank both of our witnesses. this has been very helpful to us, but it really starts with the recognition that sexual exploitation and abuse is not acceptable. and it has to be carried by the top leaders, so it starts with the top leadership at the united nations and it has to be, not as understood by everyone in the leadership at the united nations, it needs to be enforced by everybody in the hierarchy of the united nations, so that they understand it is different than it has been in the past. it does not mean that people in the past did not look at it seriously, but the institution did not look at it as serious. and that has to change. but it requires a cultural change. and without that, you will not get the type of action that you want to see. and the action that we want to see is that the member countries that are participating in the united nations understand that it cannot be tolerated, said that their leadership impresses upon their participants that this will not be allowed, and that if you are involved, i

cardin: mr. chairman, thank you for your passion on this issue.ot the first time we have dealt with problems such as this. this committee has taken i think the right position on trafficking persons, or the u.s. leadership has been instrumental in changing attitudes in so many places of the world where young people are trafficked for sex and abuses. this committee came in very strong in oversight to make sure the integrity and what we do it evaluating the progress on trafficking is not compromised by politics. and when you look at the united nations, we will not tolerate the united nations, under the auspices of the united nations, perpetrating the violence against young people. against anyone. so i agree with you completely. i first want to underscore the importance of the u.n. peacekeeping missions. 120,000 military and police personnel, overwhelming numbers performing professional responsibilities in the appropriate way. with commitment and honor, protecting the vulnerable citizens from the south sudan to the golan heights. 16 missions around th
