A comprehensive strategy to eliminate future sexual exploitation and abuse in United Nations Peacekeeping operations (A/59/710/Zeid Report) released

Also known informally as the Zeid Report, this was the first time that a comprehensive and innovative package of reforms was provided for both the United Nations Secretariat and Member States.

Although the focus was on sexual exploitation and abuse, the problems identified related to a range of misconduct, which highlighted a lack of awareness of United Nations standards of conduct, unclear procedures for making complaints, incomplete data on misconduct and insufficient capacity in peacekeeping missions to conduct investigations. This package led to the creation at Headquarters of the Conduct and Discipline Unit and the establishment of Conduct and Discipline Teams in field missions in November 2005.
