The Department of Field Support launched a new online training programme on the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse in September 2016.
Serving with pride
The United Nations Charter requires that all UN personnel must maintain the highest standards of integrity and conduct. The UN is committed to ensuring that all its personnel deployed globally serve with professionalism, courtesy and dignity. Over 100,000 civilian, military and police personnel are currently deployed in the various UN peacekeeping operations and special political missions around the world.
The UN Standards of Conduct apply to all categories of personnel deployed in UN missions. There is a three-pronged strategy to address misconduct: prevention, enforcement of the UN Standards of Conduct, and remedial action. UN personnel in the field are the face of the Organization to the people we are sent to protect and support, and the Organization is fully committed to working together with Member States to ensure that all United Nations personnel, whether civilian, police, or military are accountable for their conduct while in the service of a UN field mission.

  The men and women serving under the blue flag across the world have a duty to uphold the highest standards of integrity, professionalism and respect for the dignity of the human person.
As we serve the world's people and work for peace and the advancement of humanity, the United Nations must be a source of inspiration and a beacon of hope for all. Together, let us solemnly pledge that we will not tolerate anyone committing or condoning a crime, and in particular, crimes of sexual exploitation and abuse. Let us make zero tolerance a reality. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres |
