The call for the U.N. Peacekeeping forces in Haiti to get out of Haiti has been increasing following the release of a video showing sexual abuse of a young Haitian man by the Uruguayan peacekeepers within the U.N base.

The Brazilian prime Minister has proposed as a result a reduction of 15 percent in the current forces numbered at 12,000. The plan is to transfer responsibilities gradually to the Haitian Police Force.
