Lawyers trying to obtain financial assistance for 10 women who gave birth to children of departed peacekeepers say UN has ignored requests for information
The UN has been accused of refusing to cooperate with a human rights group that is pursuing child support payments for women left pregnant by its peacekeeping forces.
Lawyers representing 10 women in Haiti plan to pursue child support cases through civil action, but say they need the UN's assistance to proceed because most of the men involved are no longer in the country.
