New York, October 20 – The United Nations is continuing its celebrity spiral, this time having pop star Ricky Martin for lunch. Martin addressed U.N. diplomats at a luncheon, asking them to help combat child sexual tourism. Calling the problem “organized crime”, Martin said, “I want to see abolition of this slavery”. Martin stressed that the issue is nonpartisan, no doubt aware that President Bush, not exactly a U.N. favorite, raised the issue in his recent appearances before the U.N. General Assembly. It was not clear how Martin became involved with this cause, or why, but he heads a foundation, www.peopleforchildren.org, that funds projects aimed at eliminating child exploitation.
