August 7, 2013
On August 6, the Washington Post published details of Yale University’s most recent report slamming theUnited Nations for bringing cholera into Haiti in the aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake.
According to the Yale report, the lack of response on the part of the United Nations “violates obligations under international law by not providing a forum to address the grievances of cholera victims.”
Last month, a report authored by a group of former United Nations scientists used DNA testing to link the cholera bacteria responsible for the outbreak to UN peacekeepers from Nepal. The evidence, which offers strong support for the UN's culpability, caused international outrage and demands that the United Nations take responsibility for its unintentional infection of Haiti earthquake victims.
