So,
these army guys are to stand trial back home in Uruguay for a non- activity that has been thrown out by the Haitan/UN authorities as a non-horrendous act of non-undressed, non-rape undertaken by non-gross misconduct.

A good job the guys had the good sense to record their non-activities.

One wonders who will be convicted of bringing the name of the United Nations into disrepute - the accused or the accusers.

Actually we know who will be convicted -
the lower ranked individuals will be hounded out of the Service, stripped of their pension rights;
and the false-accusers will be promoted for 'maintaining the high standards of the organisation'.
