UNDP fails to bring employee to justice for genocide

UN gives him career and back pay instead


Genocide

During the Tutsi genocide, a United Nations Development Program (UNDP) employee organized the massacre of fellow UNDP employees in Rwanda and logistically supported militiamen’s genocide with UN vehicles and fuel. The employee was once arrested in 2001 while working for the U.N. at its Kosovo mission. Instead of bringing him to justice, the U.N. rewarded him 13 months back pay upon his release.

Each year, the U.S. tax payer contributes over $240 million to the UNDP and $5.3 billion to the entire U.N.
