The Secretary-General's report titled “Special measures for protection from sexual exploitation and abuse: a new approach”, outlines a victim-centered strategy that is rooted in transparency, accountability and ensuring justice. Based on four tracks, this new approach focuses on the rights and dignity of victims; ending impunity for those guilty of crimes and abuses; drawing on the wisdom and guidance of all those who have been affected, civil society, local communities and others to strengthen and improve UN's efforts; and to raise awareness and share best practices to end the vicious scourge.

The Secretary-General included information on outstanding allegations from 2010 onward, as well as information on outstanding criminal referrals in relation to allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse. This enhanced reporting allows Member States and the public at large to see what the UN and its Member States are doing to uphold our standards of conduct and hold individuals accountable.
