UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said he was shocked by reports of possible extensive exploitation of young people already battered by years of war. "The secretary general reiterates the policy of zero tolerance for any such acts perpetrated by any one employed by or affiliated with the United Nations," said UN associate spokeswoman Marie Okabe. "He intends to act forcefully should any of these allegations be confirmed and undertakes to do so in a transparent and expeditious manner." Child abuse by relief agency workers widespread in Africa, UN report says Globe and Mail Associated Press London — The United Nations and a major children's charity said Tuesday an investigation uncovered allegations of widespread sexual abuse of children by relief agency workers sent to West Africa. The investigative findings were in an interim report by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and Save The Children, UK. The organizations launched a 40-day mission to refugee camps in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone late last year after sustained allegations some aid workers were abusing children. The UNHCR and Save The Children released the findings before the report was complete "because of the disturbing nature of these allegations, because of the apparent scope of the problem and because of the need for an immediate and co-ordinated approach to implement measures by a wide range of agencies and organizations," Ron Redmond, UNHCR spokesman, said in a telephone interview from Geneva. Paul Nolan, child-protection manager for Save The Children, concurred.

For airports, nuclear power plants, and other high security facilities, the immediate benefits would be a closer-to-foolproof security system. But privacy advocates warn the chip could lead to encroachments on civil liberties. No easy-to-counterfeit ID cards nor dozing security guards. Just a computer chip — about the size of a grain of rice — that would be difficult to remove and tough to mimic. Other possible uses of the technology, from an added device that would allow satellite tracking of an individual's every movement to the storage of sensitive data like medical records, are already attracting interest across the globe for tasks like foiling kidnappings or assisting paramedics. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&u=/ap/20020226/ap_on_hi_te /human_computer_chip_2 <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
