Amnesty International: Kosovo sex trade fueled by UN, NATO

International police and troops are fueling the growth of a sex industry in Kosovo based on trafficked women being forced into prostitution, rights group Amnesty International said yesterday. The group said the UN Mission in Kosovo and the NATO-led KFOR peacekeepers had failed to protect the women and estimated about a fifth of the people paying for sex with them were foreigners. “It is outrageous that the very same people who are there to protect these women and girls are using their position and exploiting them instead — and they are getting away with it,” Amnesty said in a statement.
