UNITED NATIONS, January 27 -- When a person committing or covering up crimes or violations of human rights is barely known by the public, what is the next step?
Focusing on Joseph Kony of the Lord's Resistance Army from Uganda in 2012, a campaign launched a slick 30 minute video and a Twitter hashtag: #KONY2012.
At the UN, Inner City Press asked officials and diplomats about #KONY2012.
More recently, now in January 2013, Inner City Press asked Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's Office of the Spokesperson to respond to Uganda's claims that Kony is in Darfur, where the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations has a $1.5 billion peacekeeping mission. The UN has yet to answer.
But there another figure, who refuses Press questions about Darfur, Kony and the Congo who deserves to be better known: DPKO chief Herve Ladsous. Click here for a first profile of Ladsous.
