Statement of Secretary-General, September 2016

(Translation) First of all, criminal acts of exploitation and sexual violence committed by soldiers of certain UN member states aggravate the suffering of populations already facing armed conflict and undermine the efforts accomplished by other agents of the UN around the world.

The protectors of rights should never become predators.

Secretariat member states have a duty to redouble their efforts to implement and enforce a politic of zero-tolerance in their organisations. (End Translation)
