In Port-Au-Prince, Haiti several U.N. (United Nations) peacekeepers were sentence to one year in prison after being guilty of sexual abuse and exploitation. According to CNN "U.N spokes woman Sylvia Van Den Wildenberg said the several Pakistani police officers were convicted by Pakistani military court and were discharged. Pakistan also withdrew its 150 members of the U.N peacekeeping mission on Friday."
CNN says, "The officers were serving with two different units in different cities -- an undisclosed number in Port-Au-Prince and one in the northern city of Gonaives, U.N." spokesman Martin Nesirky told reporters. "The officers have been removed from their duties to reduce any contact with the local population while the investigation is under way."
I believe that because of what these two Pakistan officers that maybe no other Pakistan officer would be trusted to go to Haiti and do peacekeeping because of these two officers. This is what causes people to lose their trust in officers in these times, due to the fact that these unworthy officers take advantage of the privilege that they have to help the world. Instead of them trying to stop crime they end up making it worse for people, especially the people that believe in them, it's not only officers but also the other criminal specialists that people look up to.
