In this Sept. 13, 2016 photo, Sri Lankan Army Lt. Col. Tiral de Silva, chief instructor at the U.N. peacekeeping training camp, the Institute of Peace Support Operations Training Center, speaks during an interview in Kukuleganga, Sri Lanka. Instructors said they have taken steps to address the risk of sexual abuse and exploitation since the child sex ring scandal led to the repatriation of 114 troops from Haiti. "That was a black mark for our U.N. deployment," said de Silva. But even he said he was unaware of what actually had happened. "My understanding was it was the misbehavior of a few individuals."
