Department of Peacekeeping Operations, Sri Lanka agreed to a onetime payment of $45,243 for a girl fathered by a Sri Lankan commander stationed in Haiti. Hettiarachchi, who signed the payment order, said he knew little about the paternity claim, or whether there had been any other such claims on Sri Lankan peacekeepers. "I think in general we don't have a bad record of our peacekeepers," Hettiarachchi said. (AP Photo/Eranga Jayawardena)
