Honoring Values. Zero Tolerance for Sexual Exploitation and Abuse
Prevention of harrassment and SEA by counterparts at UNODC events
The organizations of the United Nations system are committed to enabling events at which everyone can participate in an inclusive, respectful and safe environment.
UN system events are guided by the highest ethical and professional standards, and all participants are expected to behave with integrity and respect towards all participants attending or involved with any UN system event.
UN has a zero tolerance policy on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA). It takes all reports of wrongdoing by its staff or affiliated personnel seriously. UN does not partner with entities that fail to address sexual exploitation and abuse through appropriate action.
