惊天告密

豁免权（immunity）不是免罪权（impunity），联合国是在奥斯维辛集中营的尸骨上建立起来的，要维护尊严必须要做的是不使联合国因强暴那些我们必须保护的人而遗臭万年。
这些事情老实讲在天朝每天都有发生，法律不能惩治恶棍歹徒，反而成为了好人的枷锁，所以我一直认为如果有一天真的司法效率和能力堕落到谷底，那么私力救济就是义务。

你认为世间存在正义，公正么？

人与人最大的共通之处是什么？empathy. 当一个人痛苦，难过，挣扎，崩溃，愤怒，快乐的时候，另一个人是不是可以身临其境的感受到他人的感觉．人与人之间最大的联系，在我看来，不是种族，国家，文化，和其他背景，而是这种empathized feeling. 如果没有这种感觉，难以想象人类的未来可以有任何希望．

看一下human trafficking的数据吧

An estimated 2.5 million people are in forced labour (including sexual exploitation) at any given time as a result of trafficking.　1.4 million – 56% - are in Asia and the Pacific.

The majority of trafficking victims are between 18 and 24 years of age

95% of victims experienced physical or sexual violence during trafficking (based on data from selected European countries)

43% of victims are used for forced commercial sexual exploitation, of whom 98 per cent are women and girls．32% of victims are used for forced economic exploitation, of whom 56 per cent are women and girls

In 2006 there were only 5,808 prosecutions and 3,160 convictions throughout the world
This means that for every 800 people trafficked, only one person was convicted in 2006.

大约2000年，一个美国的女警察被派往波斯尼亚执行联合国维和任务．期间他发现当地有各种色情场所里的年轻妓女都是从西欧各国贩卖来的，有的是拐卖，有的是哄骗，有的是无家可归者，有de 是因为战乱离家者．当地警察，政府，联合国维和组织，美国政府的contractor都参与到这个流水线式的犯罪行为中．就在她搜查证据的时候，他的调查被美国政府高层正式禁止了．原因就是U.S contractor以每年几十亿的合同为代价逼迫美国政府施压，干预调查．在乌克兰，罗马尼亚，捷克，白俄罗斯，波斯尼亚等等西欧国家中，这些年轻的女孩以各种手段被卖往欧洲美洲其他国家．贩卖者每年可以从中收取百分之2000的利润．一个美国pimp可以从一个年轻妓女身上获得＄250,000的利润．在这个事件中，集团公司，美国政府，联合国，当地警察政府，都成为了human trafficking的同谋者，他们当中很多人甚至参与到买卖妇女的交易当中．其中一个年轻女孩被人从乌克兰拐卖到波斯尼亚，因为答应为这个女警察出庭作证，被当场杀害．第二天，一群冷酷的波斯尼亚警察在荒郊野外围着这么一个被发现的年轻尸体，抽着香烟，若无其事的闲聊着，象看死老鼠一样，悠闲的看着眼前这个美丽生命的驱壳．很多的年轻女孩都是这样，先被侮辱，轮奸，性虐待，摧毁她们的精神意志，然后成为赚钱的性工具，最后被杀害或者被性虐待致死．

她把所有内幕在英国公布于众，没有一个当地警察和联合国官员受到应有的起诉和惩罚．所有人只是被遣散了．那些参与其中的U.S contractor依然在伊拉克和阿富汗享受巨额合同带来的利润．这个女警察现今依然没有工作．．．．．此事并没有引起媒体的轩然大波．．．

此时的我，愤怒．我喜欢这种感觉．

人与人之间如果没有empathy, 很难想象人类可以有任何希望继续下去．当看到这个女孩被一群男人侮辱，性侵扰，迫害，轮奸，杀害，你也许会感到有一些不安．当听到那些声嘶力竭的叫喊，我很难想象一个普通人竟然还可以神色安宁的喝茶吃饭！但之后呢，因为我们感到无助，没有能力做任何事情，所以我们便尽量的告诉自己，这是世界另一头的事情么？这与我们的生活不相干，于是我们只能叹气么？于是乎，世界的这一头，你在乏味平庸的生活着，另一边，千百万的年轻生命在你无法想象的环境中摧残着．每一个人和你一样有感情的人，每天在经历着地狱一样的生活，即使我们什么都不能做，也没有任何借口去无视．

集团公司和大学有一个课程或者名词，叫"business ethics". 你真的认为世间存在一种概念，叫business ethics么？business 真的有ethics么？business的目的只有一个，就是股东的利润．它所做的所有都是为了最大的增加股东的利润．ethics成为他们一个最道德化的理由，来让那些消费者觉得他们花的钱心安理得．

你觉得世间有公正和正义么？在哪里？（don't tell me its in the LAW)
这个问题很让人思考，但我不感兴趣．因为我不需要寻找公正和正义．
不管这世间有没有公正和正义，我们都不需要去寻找，因为寻找意味着我们倚靠他人和外界．这些价值需要自己去创造．这样创造出来的公正和正义是属于自己的．这样的道德律是凌驾与法律之上的．自己的道德律可以对抗全世界．

为什么human trafficking成为现今成长最快，利润最大的犯罪行为？

为什么越来越多的人成为所谓的＂现代奴隶主＂？特别是男人（在中国，平均四个男人中，就有一个参与性行为买卖）

为什么媒体对于这些真正涉及多放利益的问题，拷问伦理的重大问题置之枉然？

如果世间没有公正和正义，你会怎么办？

你走的越远，走的越久，就会发现这世间本没有价值，人也变得没有意义．而为什么人要存在？存在的理由之一就是为了创造原本没有，但之后属于自己的价值．让这些价值成为共通价值，才有希望．

整部影片几乎都处于黑暗背景下，即使在白天，也是出于幽暗闭塞的楼体，浓雾阴暗的天气乃至茂密的丛林中。贯穿着一股压抑，灰败的气氛。
承认是因为莫妮卡贝鲁奇才看的电影，但最终吸引我的不是性感女神，而单单是一个故事。
请原谅我的浅薄，我无法理解为什么有的人批判这部电影为题材陈旧。任何一个国家，在一部公映的影片中，刻画一桩政治丑闻，不得不说，这都是一种勇气。
影片确实处处透露美国的个人英雄主义，但与大多数商业片不同的是，我认为这不是一部单纯为了娱乐和票房诞生出的影片。现代社会原本人们引以为豪的艺术越发沦为牟利的工具，电影，书，音乐，越来越趋向同一化。变得越发没有内涵，我看到的是利益和浅薄。批量化生产的荧幕英雄带给我们的也无非是一笑置之而就此忘却。
而在这个人们无处释放压力的快节奏社会里，我们不能对生活和命运的压抑嘶吼，无力反抗，于是依靠电影来娱乐自己释放自己。其实很多时候我都在怀疑，是不是人们都在依靠这些虚拟的世界，依靠画面和数字，来寻找自己，找激情，找青春，找爱，甚至于，找良知。
苦难深埋在世界各个角落，我无法做到对于这样一桩真实发生的，且每天乃至每刻都在发生的悲剧，仅仅冠以一串数字的名头。我有个老师教过，看电影这种事情，外行看内容，内行看形式。但我无法做到。我始终认为，电影存在的意义没有拯救灵魂那么伟大，但至少能让我们看到世界不同的一面，让我们有感知，有感情，在痛苦的时候能因为感觉到自己仍是有血有肉的人，而得到一丝慰藉。
如果电影的存在仅仅只是用来表达或纪念某些形式或拍摄手法，那么我只会觉得那是一种枯燥而毫无意义的传承。最终会被抛弃。
是因为社会颠覆了善有善报的传统，于是人们变得越发麻木，我相信并非人本性冷酷，而是世界教会我们，我们牺牲了自己，却未必能保得他人。惩恶扬善。于是才有了明哲保身，远离是非。
在一些人冰冷的评价着每年250万人口被贩卖时，我只能觉得是一种良知的丧失。也许我们都不是英雄，我们看到卑鄙，却无法对抗，我们做不了女主那样牺牲自我而护卫良知的抉择。从而选择逃避，但是，仍希望在我们可以做的时候，别只觉得处在灾难中的人民，只是一串数字，就像一部电影，只是几个演员，几台机器。
任何一具身体，都透露着生命的气息，在那些女孩惊慌大叫的时候，我亦感到恐惧。作为一个导演，将情感传达出来，就足够让我满意。镜头打在 人性 这个词上的那一刻，我忽然因为自己的善良仅仅只是给没有饭吃的人们几个硬币，而自惭形秽。
英雄是存在的，但当人们麻木时，英雄将被淹没。
不谈道德，仅仅是为了维护生而为人的良知与人性，我们需要面临的都太多。需要付出的也太多。
作为最普通的社会一份子，我们大概时时处在一种被操控中。但仍愿相信希望，并保有对生活最基本的希望与热忱。坚定的走下去。

电影《告密者》根据十年前在联合国担当维和人员的凯瑟琳·波克瓦克的真实经历改编而来。美国女警嘉芙到波斯尼亚执行维和任务，无意间发现集团性贩卖人口的令人发指的罪行，多国国家军官和外交官牵连其中。她在找寻证据的过程中阻碍重重，甚至因此被免职。最后，她只能将所有证据呈现在媒体面前，这也是她为揭露这些罪行而所能做的最后努力。

"You smuggled files that belonged to the UN out of the mission.Don't you think that was a rather reckless thing to do?"(在权限范围以外，你偷拿了联合国的文件。你不觉得这样做过于鲁莽吗？）

"Those young women had put themselves at great risk by confiding in me,and I let them believe that they will receive justice，but we let them down. So the least I can do is let them be heard." (那些年轻的女孩愿冒着生命危险给予我极大的信任，我也让她们相信她们会得到公正对待，但最终让她们失望了。所以我最终能做的是让人们知道她们的遭遇。）

"Given everything you've been through, would you do it again？"(如果让你再次经历一遍，你还会这样做吗？）

"Yes. Yes, I would. No doubt about it."(会的。我会。毫无疑问。）

这是片尾英国BBC主持人和嘉芙的对话。故事真实的结尾是，“在凯瑟琳离开以后，许多维和人员，包括私人承包商，都被遣送回国，但没有任何一人在他们的国家受到刑事指控。而解雇了凯瑟琳的私人承包商继续和美国政府做生意，包括与伊拉克和阿富汗之间价值上亿的合同。凯瑟琳此后住在荷兰，并一直不能恢复在国际组织里的工作”。

我想起在看关于“占领华尔街”的新闻时，曾有这样一张图片，一个身穿黑色衣服的老太太举着一块手写的纸板，上面是托马斯杰弗逊说过的一句话，"when injustice becomes law,resistance becomes duty"(当不义成为法律，反抗便成了责任。）

我想起在德国上课期间，其中一门名为Small-scale sustainable tourism development project的课中，曾经有一个案例，讲的便是贩卖人口。

2006年的新闻，标题为《悲情湄公河》。“人口贩卖，是仅次于军火、毒品交易的全球第三大犯罪产业，每年产生数十亿美元的暴利。”

 “据英国《每日电讯报》近日报道，美国国务院日前出台《2011年度人口贩卖报告》，意大利总理贝卢斯科尼的名字被列入报告，这是因为他涉嫌与遭贩卖的未成年女子发生性关系。”
 ……

坦白说，之前我对于贩卖人口这一罪行并没有到达如此深恶痛绝的地步，总觉得跟自己好像没什么关系。而直至看完这部影片，那些官官相护的丑恶嘴脸，那些贩卖人口的人的冷血无情……那一个个镜头都让我难以忘记，在看电影的过程中，我需要不断提醒自己，“这只是演戏，还好片中的那些人并不是真的在经历这些”。

"Why do you want to get rid of her?"(你为什么想要摆脱她？）

……"The UN is too fragile,too important. That's what immunity is for."(联合国太脆弱了，同时也太重要，这也是有豁免权的原因。）

"Immunity not impunity...that the UN is not remembered for raping the very people we must protect."(是豁免，但不是免罚……联合国不应该因强奸我们必须保护的重要的人而被记住。）

"Those girls are whores of war. It happens.I will not dictate for morality."(那些女孩是慰安妇，这些在所难免。我不会受道德摆布。）

"What are we dictating for?"(那我们应该受什么摆布？）

"...It's a private corporation.We work in real world."(这是私人组织。我们在现实世界工作。）

去你妈的现实世界。

我知道我从前的想法是错的。生活在同样的一个世界里，没有人可以独善其身。如果恶性不被制止，那么这种行为便会像一个恶性肿瘤那样扩散，天知道有哪一天它会来到你身边。

我很讶异这样的电影为什么没能得到更为广泛的宣传。我曾经在看完像《集结号》、《风声》、《言语的秘密生活》等这一类电影后向身边的朋友推荐，得到的反馈很多是觉得不想看这些主题沉重的电影。但有没有想过，这些电影毕竟是由演员演的，无论多么想贴近真实，总会带有距离，若是连电影中的镜头，你作为旁观者也无法接受，有没有想过在现实中曾经或者正在遭遇这些伤痛的人们，他们的感受。

每次看这些影片都需耗费更多的感情，或者哭得岔不过气，但是这些跟那些受到真实受到伤害的人相比，又算什么。这个世界不像许多人想象的那样和平，许多事情我们应该知道，也有义务去知道。不然所谓人权，光是空谈，又有什么狗屁意义。

电影，正如之前所说，只是其中一个途径，还有媒体的力量也是不容忽视的。我曾看过一些与媒体相关的电影，平时略有关注新闻，在看完这部电影以后，更加认为媒体的公信力是有多么重要。就譬如这部电影中的故事，嘉芙最后将证据呈往英国BBC,若是媒体也被这些集团所干涉，那么后果更为不堪设想。不管是什么国家，封锁真实信息，干涉媒体运作的，真的有够缺德的。

个人的力量虽说是微不足道，但是当数以万计的人的力量加起来便是不可预计的。微博上看来的一段话，“莫斯科一名警察说，如果你们有100人，我们将用捆子打趴你们。如果你们有1000人，我们就用催泪弹。如果1万人上街游行，我们将站在那里注视。但如果有10万人出现，我们将加入你们的行列”。

无论如何，首先请睁开你的眼睛，打开你的耳朵，给自己一个机会去了解真实的世界。逃避责任是懦夫的行为。

Talking With Kathryn Bolkovac About Her Experience as The Whistleblower

Posted: 08/16/11 07:48 PM ET

 

After seeing (and reviewing) The Whistleblower, I contacted Kathryn Bolkovac, whose story is the basis of the movie, and interviewed her. Her answers speak for themselves, but also give such a sense of her persona, grit and determination.

FOSTER: You were faced with a situation where the people you worked with were engaged in something very shocking. Do you have any insight as to how or why they got involved with trafficking?

I really do not think there is clear cut answer for this. Everyone is an individual and is accountable to their individual behavior and potential illegal actions they committed and continue to commit in current missions. I think most people are truly just plain complicit in their thinking and tend to not get involved or look the other way to avoid any form of accountability, especially if they think that something does not directly affect them for their position. Then there is the group of people who can easily be swayed to join in on a pack mentality, who are morally and mentally weak or ignorant. When conditions are right as they have been and still are in many overseas missions around the world, or if they think they will not be caught or judged then it is easy for them to engage in illegal and corrupt behavior. They try to justify and minimize their actions. Finally, there are individuals who are just plain evil and corrupt, they see the money making potential of preying on the helpless and needy, and exploit every opportunity they can to make a buck, especially in an industry that involves sex. They are very good at dehumanizing, denial, and lying about what is going on.

FOSTER: What do you think needs to be done to address the trafficking issue? What can government do?

The trafficking issue at large is too complex to tackle with sweeping reform. There are so many different types of human trafficking each with different dynamics of funding the corruption. Obviously, many adults choose to be trafficked... or illegally transported across many borders to escape horrendous conditions in their own countries. These issues cannot be convoluted with organized criminal syndicates who are providing services to internationals all over the world, in the form of trafficking for forced prostitution. They are involved in the recruitment, abuse, desensitization, and sale of human flesh, into international missions as sex workers. This is what I want to discuss and what I think we can make a huge impact on based on my experiences as a former law enforcement officer, former UN employee, former representative of our U.S. government overseas, and as a former employee of one of the largest private government contractors in the world DynCorp.

FOSTER: What can our government do?

First, in the short term, the United States needs to take a serious look at why we are willing to allow private companies to engage in the profession of law enforcement. Government contractors are a needed and viable means to get many logistical and re-construction efforts accomplished. They are not a viable means for a protection force or as a mechanism for the use in training law enforcement officers in emerging democracies. Law enforcement is not a business. Policing is a calling. Does anyone really believe that private corporations are in this policing and operational mission business for anything but the money? We need to set an example with our own federal police selection units, perhaps via the Department of Justice as an example, why can we not recruit and most importantly train our own community police officers before we send them into these missions? My book accurately describes the pathetic training offered by the private company who sent me overseas, which I am sure was heavily subsidized with my tax dollars. It was a disgrace; none of us had even the minimum knowledge or idea of what we were supposed to be doing once we got into Bosnia.

If we are to continue to send "rent a cops " overseas with inadequate knowledge and inadequate protections from corrupt private companies, some of whom had serious questionable policing backgrounds we might want to stop and think about how this damages our reputation and our goals. The private company who fired me had free reign to treat me however they saw fit, no one was in authority to stop them. They were exempt from all U.S. government accountability and have never been held accountable for what they did to me to this day. How has this changed? It has not.

Second, get the Civilian Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (CEJA) out of committee and get it passed. It has been more than 12 years overdue. [NOTE: CEJA would allow the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute government contractors and employees for certain crimes committed overseas. It would complement the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA), which provides similar criminal jurisdiction over Department of Defense employees and contractors but does not clearly apply to U.S. contractors working overseas for other federal agencies.]

Third, make government contractors accountable for their employee actions, by putting a clause in their contracts that require them to facilitate and allow oversight of both external and internal investigations by outside government agencies, when probable cause exists that employees are suspected, or implicated in criminal offenses. They must cooperate in the facilitation of prosecutions. They can no longer just fire people, and hope the problem goes away, which automatically curtails any further investigation.

Fourth, set examples by having the means available to prosecute and convict with meaningful sentences.

FOSTER: What can individuals do?

Learn, read, report, and stop burying your heads in the sand. Many of the people involved in these crimes could be your next door neighbor.

Get local law enforcement initiatives started, and ask your police chiefs this question. What kind of training is being offered to your new recruits and officers on the streets to recognize and investigate all forms of human trafficking?

Do you think a local police chief in the hills of Northern New Mexico, or in the farming community of southern Illinois, is even going to know what we are talking about? Does the local hotel have young female Hispanics working in the housekeeping department? They do not speak English, they have no documents, does he know what wage they are being paid and in what form? Think about it. I have been in these places have you?

 FOSTER: Many of the women and girls who are trafficked are promised jobs that don't materialize. What do you think would be effective to get the word out to them so that fewer of them fall prey to these types of promises?

The only effect we can have on this is to stop the demand.

FOSTER: How did you sustain yourself?

Continued faith in our justice system, lots of hard workouts and sweat, many tears and my husband would make me a strong gin tonic with lots of lemon and ice once in a while.
