Haiti's Cholera Outbreak: The Role of the UN then, and now.
Cholera broke out in Haiti in October 2010, and continues to constitute a grave medical emergency. Overwhelming evidence has established that reckless disposal of human waste by a United Nations (UN) peacekeeping base in Mirebalais poisoned Haiti's rivers with a particularly deadly strain of cholera bacteria and created the epidemic. Now, despite even UN Special Envoy to Haiti Bill Clinton's acknowledgment that the UN was the "proximate cause" of the epidemic, the UN continues to refuse to accept responsibility and control cholera in Haiti.
In November 2011, the "Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti" filed 5,000 claims with the UN, seeking:
A) The installation of a national water and sanitation system that will control the epidemic,
B) Compensation for individual victims of cholera for their losses,
C) A public apology from the United Nations for its wrongful acts
In February 2013, after 15 months of silence, the UN tersely dismissed the claims in a two-line decision deeming the claims "not receivable." Since then, their strategy continues to be denial and stonewalling the media. On October 9, 2013, BAI, IJDH, and law firm Kurzban, Kurzban, Weinger, Tetzelli & Pratt (KKWT) filed a lawsuit against the UN in NY Federal Court. Click here for a full timeline of the events that led up to this.
On October 23, 2014 a judge heard oral arguments on the question of UN immunity. On January 9, 2015, the judge dismissed IJDH's case. On February 12, 2015, IHDH filed a notice of appeal to begin the appeals process. On May 27, 2015, the IJDH filed the Plaintiffs' Principal Appellate Brief. On August 26, 2015, the United States filed an Amicus Curiae Brief in support of affirmance. On September 25, 2015, IJDH filed the Appellants Reply Brief.

The US has weighed in for the UN. So, in addition to the "black helicopters," depriving nations of their sovereignty, and Alex Jones's worst nightmare (see "Amerigeddon;" no, really, don't go to see it) now apparently they have the power to come to your neighborhood, dump raw and diseased sewage into your drinking water, and they can't even be hauled into court.
By the way, the UN could have prevented the cholera outbreak with a $2000.00 health kit. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/ap...e_btn_link
