UN police 'propping up' Kosovo sex trade By Mark Turner Published: May 7 2004 5:00 | Last Updated: May 7 2004 5:00 United Nations police and Nato peacekeepers are propping up the illegal sex trade in Kosovo, Amnesty International has alleged.
According to a new report, "members of the international community are estimated to constitute 20 per cent of the people using trafficked women and girls" and generate as much as 80 per cent of the trade's income.
It added: "It is outrageous that the very same people who are there to protect these women and girls are using their position and exploiting them instead - and they are getting away with it."
The UN's mission in Kosovo described the report as "highly unbalanced". Mark Turner at the United Nations
