Talk:Sérgio Vieira de Mello

message: A contributor added the following interesting details to the biography, which were deleted later:
"De Mello became the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in 2002 and as such he ignored many complaints of human rights violations, including complaints addressed to him personally. He ignored especially complaints about state abuse of children and violations of children's rights. He ignored complaints about the corruption of subordinates appointed to children's rights offices and their complicity with pedophile and trafficking rings."
This complaint about De Mello had been made before. 
It is true that at the time of De Mello's death, there had been many complaints to him by relatives of victims of kidnappers, pedophiles and traffickers in children. The criminals operated in conspiracy with officials of state governments and local and international non-governmental organizations. The latter group included United Nations employees. De Mello never replied to the complaints and there was no indication that they ever received proper consideration.

message: I believe that his divorce was finalized before his death, but I don't have my copy of Samantha Power's Chasing the Flame to verify.  Could someone please verify that his divorce was finalized and update the page accordingly?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.105.246.241 (talk) 15:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: If this is true perhaps the fact the De Mello and the UN were willing to make such a sacrifice should be mentioned. Geo8rge 18:21, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: nah, humanitarian aid workers have been getting killed in large numbers long before the Bush administration came up the phrase "war on terror", he was lucky to live as long as he did. He was the first official to meet with the Khmer Rouge (some called it a suicide mission), and he walked right into the line of fire multiple times in Bosnia. Each year there are dozens to hundreds of aid workers killed around the world in various conflicts. 71.191.42.242 (talk) 20:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good point, but the original comment was about his being the highest-ranking official to die in these circumstances. Rodrigo de Salvo Braz (talk) 20:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
