I can understand the safety issue when serving in places like Somalia, but, at the same time these are civilized people with needs from time to time.

One other thing.
If the United Nations has a program to hold assets for those that sign on to work in foreign service, why don't they have a fail safe program that provides services when the unexpected happens and/or their contractors what to go on vacation. To my way of thinking assets are tricky things to hold in trust for those servicing overseas. A separate agency needs to provide that capacity with agreements with the contractor leaving for a period of time and mostly unreachable. The United Nations should not be overseeing such services to their contractors. All that has to be between private entities and the contractor providing a third party to contact in case of an emergency. Some people, as portrayed by the good doctor, have no family to act in their best interest.
