The report analyzes the problem of sexual exploitation
and abuse by United Nations peacekeeping personnel. Prince Zeid drew on
extensive consultations with Secretariat officials and representatives
of the troop and he focuses on four main areas of concern:
=B7 The
current rules on standards of conduct
=B7 The
investigative process
=B7 Organizational,
managerial and command responsibility
=B7 Individual
disciplinary, financial and criminal accountability
Since the problem of sexual exploitation
and abuse is not confined to peacekeeping contexts, the report offers many
innovative ideas that could be applicable to the wider United Nations system.
