Six months after an attack on a United Nations camp left dozens dead in South Sudan, an internal U.N. investigation concluded that peacekeepers made major errors that contributed to, and exacerbated, the massacre. The massacre was widely seen as a failure of the United Nations and its peacekeeping force. South Sudan, though, by the United Nations’ own admission, presents a wholly new challenge. Those investigations are meant to outline the ways the United Nations can improve its performance. The United Nations itself reported this year that girls as young as 13 were paid as little as 50 cents for sex by peacekeepers.
