一名前联合国工作人员透露 国际警察竟是妓院常客
http://www.sina.com.cn 2001年06月15日19:09 北京晚报
　　近日，联合国一名被解雇的国际警察工作队成员向外界披露，部署在波黑的联合国国际警察部队(IPTF)官员本应该恪尽职守，为社会树立典范，却率先违法逛妓院。事件公布后，引起国际关注。

　　博尔科娃被激怒了

　　凯瑟琳·博尔科娃原本是美国内布拉斯加州一名资深警官。两年前，她辞去工作，加入联合国国际警察工作队，并被派往波黑地区调查当地的地下卖淫业。

　　随着工作的深入，博尔科娃开始接触到一些资料，得知她的一些联合国同事竟是这些卖淫妇女的常客，有些甚至卷得更深。她收集到越来越多这方面的资料，也就更加心寒。她在一份报告中讲述了一些外籍军官的所作所为：为被拐卖的卖淫妇女制造假证件，协助她们通过边境检查站入境以及在警察部队的突袭检查前向非法俱乐部的老板通风报信等。

　　去年年初，博尔科娃被降职。同年4月，她被解雇，解聘书上列出的理由是有人控告她伪造工作时间卡。博尔科娃被激怒了，她说，上面根本不想知道事情的真相，他们宁愿对这些证据充耳不闻，视而不见。

　　博尔科娃的故事并不是一个偶然事件。戴维·兰姆在过去两年间曾任联合国人权委员会调查员，在波斯尼亚中部地区进行工作。他说，在工作期间，他与同事定期向上级递交部分国际驻员在波黑犯下不良行径的证据，但得到的却是“不要再深入调查下去”的警告。

　　逛妓院至多被解雇

　　联合国有关官员表示，多数IPTF成员都很好的完成了自己的使命，树立了值得效仿的榜样，但同时也不得不承认，在2000名警察部队中曾有20多人因犯有从收受贿赂到不恰当性行为等过错被解雇。

　　美国国务院发言人查尔斯·亨特承认，在美籍警察工作队成员中就“偶有纪律问题发生”，但是事情通常能得到“迅速、合理并且恰当”的解决。另有美国高级官员承认，美在挑选和训练派驻波黑警察的工作中存在严重问题，因为美国务院把这项工作交给得克萨斯州的一家私人公司经办，这家公司每年可得到美国政府1500万美元的资金。

　　驻波黑的国际警察都享有外交豁免权，对于那些犯罪的国际警察，除非他们本国政府放弃豁免权，否则联合国能够给予他们的最重处罚只不过是将他们遣送回国。

　　国际警察形象何在

　　去年11月，波黑警察在IPTF的协助下，扫荡了波斯尼亚北部一个城镇的三个夜总会，共抓获33名卖淫妇女，其中包括只有14岁的小女孩。第二天，夜总会老板向外界宣称，IPTF此前曾向他索取1万美元保护费遭到拒绝，IPTF恼羞成怒，才发动了这次袭击。

　　卖淫在波黑属非法行为。波黑目前共有两万多名北约维和部队和数千名各种国际援助机构与工作小组成员，卖淫业的繁荣也许与此不无关系。据联合国有关统计数字，各种夜总会和妓院的顾客中有30%是外国人。

　　这些卖淫的妇女来自一些东欧国家。她们抱着做女招待或保姆的幻想来到波黑，但随后被交到妓院老板手里，护照被没收，只好被迫进行性交易。

Talking With Kathryn Bolkovac About Her Experience as The Whistleblower

Posted: 08/16/11 07:48 PM ET

 

After seeing (and reviewing) The Whistleblower, I contacted Kathryn Bolkovac, whose story is the basis of the movie, and interviewed her. Her answers speak for themselves, but also give such a sense of her persona, grit and determination.

FOSTER: You were faced with a situation where the people you worked with were engaged in something very shocking. Do you have any insight as to how or why they got involved with trafficking?

I really do not think there is clear cut answer for this. Everyone is an individual and is accountable to their individual behavior and potential illegal actions they committed and continue to commit in current missions. I think most people are truly just plain complicit in their thinking and tend to not get involved or look the other way to avoid any form of accountability, especially if they think that something does not directly affect them for their position. Then there is the group of people who can easily be swayed to join in on a pack mentality, who are morally and mentally weak or ignorant. When conditions are right as they have been and still are in many overseas missions around the world, or if they think they will not be caught or judged then it is easy for them to engage in illegal and corrupt behavior. They try to justify and minimize their actions. Finally, there are individuals who are just plain evil and corrupt, they see the money making potential of preying on the helpless and needy, and exploit every opportunity they can to make a buck, especially in an industry that involves sex. They are very good at dehumanizing, denial, and lying about what is going on.

FOSTER: What do you think needs to be done to address the trafficking issue? What can government do?

The trafficking issue at large is too complex to tackle with sweeping reform. There are so many different types of human trafficking each with different dynamics of funding the corruption. Obviously, many adults choose to be trafficked... or illegally transported across many borders to escape horrendous conditions in their own countries. These issues cannot be convoluted with organized criminal syndicates who are providing services to internationals all over the world, in the form of trafficking for forced prostitution. They are involved in the recruitment, abuse, desensitization, and sale of human flesh, into international missions as sex workers. This is what I want to discuss and what I think we can make a huge impact on based on my experiences as a former law enforcement officer, former UN employee, former representative of our U.S. government overseas, and as a former employee of one of the largest private government contractors in the world DynCorp.

FOSTER: What can our government do?

First, in the short term, the United States needs to take a serious look at why we are willing to allow private companies to engage in the profession of law enforcement. Government contractors are a needed and viable means to get many logistical and re-construction efforts accomplished. They are not a viable means for a protection force or as a mechanism for the use in training law enforcement officers in emerging democracies. Law enforcement is not a business. Policing is a calling. Does anyone really believe that private corporations are in this policing and operational mission business for anything but the money? We need to set an example with our own federal police selection units, perhaps via the Department of Justice as an example, why can we not recruit and most importantly train our own community police officers before we send them into these missions? My book accurately describes the pathetic training offered by the private company who sent me overseas, which I am sure was heavily subsidized with my tax dollars. It was a disgrace; none of us had even the minimum knowledge or idea of what we were supposed to be doing once we got into Bosnia.

If we are to continue to send "rent a cops " overseas with inadequate knowledge and inadequate protections from corrupt private companies, some of whom had serious questionable policing backgrounds we might want to stop and think about how this damages our reputation and our goals. The private company who fired me had free reign to treat me however they saw fit, no one was in authority to stop them. They were exempt from all U.S. government accountability and have never been held accountable for what they did to me to this day. How has this changed? It has not.

Second, get the Civilian Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (CEJA) out of committee and get it passed. It has been more than 12 years overdue. [NOTE: CEJA would allow the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute government contractors and employees for certain crimes committed overseas. It would complement the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA), which provides similar criminal jurisdiction over Department of Defense employees and contractors but does not clearly apply to U.S. contractors working overseas for other federal agencies.]

Third, make government contractors accountable for their employee actions, by putting a clause in their contracts that require them to facilitate and allow oversight of both external and internal investigations by outside government agencies, when probable cause exists that employees are suspected, or implicated in criminal offenses. They must cooperate in the facilitation of prosecutions. They can no longer just fire people, and hope the problem goes away, which automatically curtails any further investigation.

Fourth, set examples by having the means available to prosecute and convict with meaningful sentences.

FOSTER: What can individuals do?

Learn, read, report, and stop burying your heads in the sand. Many of the people involved in these crimes could be your next door neighbor.

Get local law enforcement initiatives started, and ask your police chiefs this question. What kind of training is being offered to your new recruits and officers on the streets to recognize and investigate all forms of human trafficking?

Do you think a local police chief in the hills of Northern New Mexico, or in the farming community of southern Illinois, is even going to know what we are talking about? Does the local hotel have young female Hispanics working in the housekeeping department? They do not speak English, they have no documents, does he know what wage they are being paid and in what form? Think about it. I have been in these places have you?

 FOSTER: Many of the women and girls who are trafficked are promised jobs that don't materialize. What do you think would be effective to get the word out to them so that fewer of them fall prey to these types of promises?

The only effect we can have on this is to stop the demand.

FOSTER: How did you sustain yourself?

Continued faith in our justice system, lots of hard workouts and sweat, many tears and my husband would make me a strong gin tonic with lots of lemon and ice once in a while.

像这样一部黑色现实题材的片子
我不给5星都难啊

故事不做累述。
若想质疑其真实度，可以稍稍wiki，再买书看。
虽然我也没看过，但以史为鉴，可以辨别。

我要说的不是这个现实问题怎么解决，
也不是对我们有什么启示，
毕竟说了也没多少人会在意，
更何况还说不清楚。

我依然喜欢提的还是关于人的问题。
你说为什么有些人可以丧心病狂，有些人可以十恶不赦，
有些人可以视而不见听而不闻？
嘿，但终究还是有些人可以fight for Justice。尤其还是one women's fight for Justice

嘿嘿 要我说，这还是生命力的问题。
这也是我标题的意思。
如果说，我们腐朽的体制和环境会慢慢腐蚀人的心灵，那么生命力越是旺盛的家伙，越是难以被蚕食和消灭。

所谓死人脸，影片中给的很到位。
就是满脸颓废，或者面瘫样，或者呆滞，或者害怕和恐惧。
死人的世界不消说就是——地狱。

不过这是在人间，所以还不全是死人。
还有几个骷髅头。
稍微注意一下：影片里给我们这正派的镜头角度都是有棱有角的“骷髅头”形象。

一脸死气是因为灵魂中缺少了点东西，
或者说内心早已被蒙蔽，一种将死未死的状态。
而骷髅头，就是死过的人，而且死的非常彻底，以至于历经多年都没有消失的白骨。

到底有着多么重的怨念啊~
2次失败婚姻，被判给丈夫的女儿，再加一次异域的有妇之夫.....
这个骷髅真是太硬了。够硬，所以够英雄。

所谓生命力，总是在自然法则中运行的。
自然界有着同化和异化作用，但是最终还是有无法同化的东西
可以同化的就被吸收，不能被同化的就被排泄到外界去更自由也更辗转的循环。而我们的社会也差不多。
所以顺便说一句，如果以后有人骂你是一坨屎，可以把它当做赞赏。

去年加拿大和德国合拍了一部 The Whistleblower。讲波黑地区妇女被贩卖和遭受性暴力问题。实际上这些贩卖和暴力的活动却由美国官方以及与美政府合作的私人公司背后操作。

其实影片最后表达的还是这场抗争以失败告终，这个世界还是男权的社会。尽管有那么一些人被开除了，尽管katie最后把证据拿出来公布于众了，不要告诉我在波黑那些地方女孩们已经不再饱受欺凌。

有战争的地方就有军队，有军队的地方就需要军妓。可是，有哪一些人自愿来作军妓的，于是产生了贩卖和暴力。美国一向以维护世界和平为幌子践踏他国主权，把军队开到那里，产生直接的种族拼杀，衍生出各种复杂的社会问题。

由真实事件改编的好片子， 蕾切尔·薇兹 和 莫妮卡·贝鲁奇两大美女的演出，也透露了她们不只是利用身体来博得演出的机会，证明她们也在思考作为有影响力的女性应该传播的信息和价值应该是什么。

隐藏在世界某些角落的晦垢，只有用作为女性的眼能够看到。

莫妮卡在里面看着好老啊，皱巴巴的T_T
嗯，其实类似题材的电影看过不少，无非是一个有正义感的人敢于冒着生命危险揭露某些阴暗面，并且以正义最终战胜邪恶为结局，一句话，煞笔，但是这部片子亮就亮在结尾处的几行字啊，Kathy揭露了丑陋的现实，却没有人为这样的罪恶买单，这个邪恶的组织并没有受到惩罚，不过是把公司解散了而已，换个名字照样接单干活，鬼知道他们是不是继续这样的勾当，并且Kathy从此没有能再参与类似的工作，再一次证明“未被同化”的人是为体制所不容的啊！！！哪里都有黑暗啊摔！！！

制片人希望能让观众受到片中那些被迫卖淫女性受到残暴对待的镜头影响，所以增加了拉亚一角，来给予这些受害人一张真实的面孔。
电影首次在多伦多放映期间，一位观众因片中的暴力镜头晕倒，大部分强奸的镜头因此遭到删减。

对此薇兹表示：
我完全理解，让人看这些东西的确太痛苦了。
真实情况还要惨烈得多。
我的意思是，第一个接触这些青年女性的人的故事中我能够告诉你的还只有这个“低调”的版本，如果你能够接受这样的内容。
不过，这不是纪录片，你不希望（在里面）毁掉谁。
你只想阐明一些事情，它的实际情况还要惨上百倍。

联合国秘书长潘基文主持了电影的一次放映，并承诺会采取措施，防止联合国工作人员参与色情人口贩卖活动。
对此波克瓦克回应：“不幸的是，恐惧已经广泛散布。纠正之路将会很复杂，并且无法速战速决。”她还表示，除波斯尼亚外，维和人员在尼日利亚、科索沃、布隆迪、塞拉利昂、刚果、利比里亚、柬埔寨、伊拉克、阿富汗、海地、哥伦比亚、几内亚和苏丹都存在侵犯人权的行径。
康达基对此表示自己打算保持乐观，希望电影的放映能够“让人们对联合国参与性交易人口贩卖及其它犯罪活动展开真正的讨论和思考。”但她也担心电影可能不会产生预期的持久影响：“我知道我们会听到很多说法，说自本片上映以来都已经采该了哪些措施，但到目前为止这些都还只是说辞。实际情况已经出现升级。

”《告密者》在院线上映后，《卫报》报道称有联合国官员试图淡化电影中描绘的事件，并且打击波斯尼亚境内人口贩卖的行动已遭中止。

戴阳国际发言人阿什利·伯克（Ashley Burke）称：

我没看过那部电影，所以无法对其内容作出评价，但是我可能告诉大家，我们联系影片发行商试图了解电影的更多信息时得知，影片不是改编自波克瓦克女士的著作，而是是受到她经历启发所做的‘虚构戏剧化呈现’。我们也没有威胁采取法律行动来要求他们不得在片中使用公司的真实名称。

很抱歉，以上是我转载的内容，我觉得这更有一定的说服力
首先，电影里出现的公司名称戴阳国际是真实存在的，并且戴阳国际也一直在参与联合国的各种事物（业务），最终联合国秘书长潘也组织观看了此片，相信会有所动作！

但.....弱肉抢食
