3.3: Peacekeeper Misconduct
End Peacekeeper Misconduct. Other Information:
UN Peacekeepers are sent into harm’s way to halt violence and protect civilians, and the vast majority perform admirably.
But any incident of dereliction of duty or abuse of local populations is one too many. The UN must do more to implement its
zero tolerance policy for sexual exploitation and abuse by UN peacekeepers and protection of the rights of women. Some reforms
(including conduct and discipline teams for every unit) are underway, but the UN should deploy a truly system-wide database
on misconduct to track abuses –with more consistent and transparent follow-up at the highest levels with member states --
to ensure that those who commit abuses are held accountable and never again serve under the UN flag.
