UN Impunity in Haiti: Cholera Outbreak IS Criminal Negligence

1) What this report fails to show is what "'century" exactly did Haiti have a previous outbreak of cholera? It can't since Haiti has never had a documented case of a cholera outbreak. The UN was/is well aware that Haitians did not have antibodies to protect them from cholera. The UN is the one primarily military organization (not humanitarian) which is in the best position to know this because of its supposed "mandate" to help prevent the spread of disease in the world. You'd think that would be a priority in Haiti, but evidently not, given their criminal negligence there. A legitimate question to posit: since the UN "mandate" in Haiti has been repeatedly renewed by the Security Council, are they carrying out a secret agenda? Is the UN practicing bio-warfare in Haiti?

The UN's defense of its criminal behavior in Haiti is absurd. They claim that since Haiti had prime conditions where cholera or other water-bourne disease would thrive, then Haiti itself is responsible for the deadly outbreak... so let's have another real life example where the UN's twisted logic can be applied: if a criminal shoots a policeman and that policeman is not wearing a bullet proof vest and he dies, then he is responsible for his own death.

2) What this report does show is that the UN thinks it is above the law and has operated with impunity in Haiti. So much so that it hasn't even bothered to follow through on its own legal requirements/obligations of putting in place a commission to uphold the rule-of-law; to hear criminal complaints brought against them -- an absurd conflict of interest in the first place!

3) The "agreement" that Haiti is said to have signed, which allows "MINUSTAH" to occupy Haiti under Chapter VII (conditions not met in Haiti), was signed when Haiti was under the illegal US installed regime of Gerard Latortue, so it has no validity. The criminal UN occupation of Haiti is illegal, criminal and based on lies.

Interesting reading: Bill Clinton acknowledged “that a UN peacekeeping soldier brought cholera to Haiti by accident.”

The UN contaminated Haiti with the cholera bacteria

The Nepalese military occupation brought the disease to Haiti. There was an outbreak of cholera in Nepal concurrently in October. The Nepalese base dumped their waste in a tributary of the Artibonite river, resulting in the spread of the bacterial infection to those living down river from the military base.

The virulent strain contaminating Haiti is not native to the Western Hemisphere. The bacterial strain of cholera has been determined to be of South Asia origin. The cholera contamination of the Artibonite river has killed over 400 Haitians and made close to 5,000 Haitians ill.

Experts: Did UN troops infect Haiti?

John Mekalanos, a cholera expert and chairman of Harvard University's microbiology department, said it is important to know exactly where and how the disease emerged because it is a novel, virulent strain previously unknown in the Western Hemisphere - and public health officials need to know how it spreads.

Interviewed by phone from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Mekalanos said evidence suggests Nepalese soldiers carried the disease when they arrived in early October following outbreaks in their homeland.

"The organism that is causing the disease is very uncharacteristic of (Haiti and the Caribbean), and is quite characteristic of the region from where the soldiers in the base came," said Mekalanos, a colleague of Farmer. "I don't see there is any way to avoid the conclusion that an unfortunate and presumably accidental introduction of the organism occurred."
