Official lauds report on sexual exploitation

Atul Khare, UN undersecretary-general for field support, welcomed on Monday the evaluation report on the issue of sexual exploitation and abuse by UN personnel during peacekeeping operations, a UN spokesman said.

"He said that this report provides an additional insight on how the implementation of the secretary-general's zero-tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse is handled, where progress has been made, and where challenges still exist," Spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.

The report was published by the Office of the Internal Oversight Services.
