The World Health Organization's "inadequate response" to sexual abuse and exploitation during the DRC Ebola outbreak may have allowed "perpetrators of these crimes to go unpunished," said U.N. rapporteurs @UNSRVAW @drtlaleng @melissaupreti devex.com/news/un-rappor…

A report by @UNSRVAW on the @WHO jobs-for-sex scandal highlights ongoing impunity for UN sex criminals. These serious human rights violations may "constitute crimes that fall within the purview of international criminal law,” according to Reem Alsalem: tiny.cc/zpvruz

AIDS-Free World welcomes the report from @UNSRVAW, @drtlaleng, & @melissaupreti on continued impunity for UN sex abuse. @WHO's response to allegations in #DRC may have blocked "a fair and thorough investigation of possible [sex] crimes," notes Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem.

🧵Read our Code Blue Campaign’s analysis of #OIOS’ scathing critique here: codebluecampaign.com/press-releases….
English
🧵Despite this troubling trend, #UN leadership has shown no interest in holding civilian personnel to account. The Organization refers a minuscule percentage of sex crime allegations to national law enforcement, and civilian perpetrators continue to evade criminal punishment.

A new leader can succeed where others have failed by taking the time to scrutinize each component of the current United Nations’ response and then call for the reforms necessary to fix a malfunctioning system.

A Fresh Start to Ending UN Sex Abuse?
To achieve a different outcome, #UN Secretary-General António Guterres and his next Special Coordinator must look to different, previously ignored analysts and problem-solvers for new perspectives and new ideas.

In a new report, the #UN Secretary-General declares his intention to improve the UN's response to its sexual abuse crisis by appointing a dedicated, full-time Special Coordinator. The change is overdue. But it isn't enough.

The Secretary-General must reform a system that has victimized thousands over many decades. To succeed, he and his new Special Coordinator will need a *new* New Approach.

The UN received 194 allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse committed by its personnel in 2021, a 21 percent increase over the 160 allegations recorded in 2020.

@KeshetBachan That can be true. But the UN hasn't made that claim in this year's report as it has made in previous years' reports.

@KandehSaramba: "No diplomats were withdrawn from Banjul, nor were any UN resolutions passed. No international sanctions were levied, and Jammeh spoke at the UN General Assembly in 2009, 2013 and 2014. He was treated like just any other head of state."

Thanks to @jasminekimw for another wide scope yet nuanced take on the #UN's sexual offenses crisis and the critical structural & gender inequalities at play. Much to ponder. #WomenPeaceSecurity #IWD2022
The Lowy Institute@LowyInstitute
When @jasminekimw interviewed UN senior leaders about sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers, they asked how they could have been expected to redirect resources from critical security issues to dealing with sexual misconduct by personnel. #IWD2022 lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…

The TRRC found that Jammeh “used his power to force” the first group of victims to enter the programme, but following fabricated claims of success – and in the absence of global condemnation and warnings – many people living with HIV began entering the programme voluntarily.

A concerted campaign to raise an alarm could have saved lives.
