This month's production from the 48South7th team, "UN Peacekeepers and Human Trafficking: Response to 'The Whistleblower' film with Madeleine Rees" is available online and on TV. Comcast Channel 15 in San Jose and Campbell broadcasts 48South7th every Tuesday at 8pm.
In Part 2, shown this month, Rees zeroes in on the failure of member countries to properly control the national police and (in the case of the U.S.) contract employees sent to the post-conflict situation.

Patrick Leahy's bill S.1145 the Civilian Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act to clarify and expand federal jurisdiction over federal contractors and employees outside the United States.
48South7th videos are available streaming from the project's YouTube Channel.
