Interesting to see our old friend Tom Weiss raise SEA as the most obvious example of a place in the UN where reform is necessary

[United Nations Association - UK (UNA-UK) @UNAUK]

Thomas G. Weiss raises questions he believes are being overlooked by Member States:

What does the aftermath of the pandemic and the related global economic meltdown mean for the @UN?

Will it even be around to celebrate a centenary?

Jane Holl Lute has not made a trip to a peacekeeping country—outside of Cyprus—since April 2016. She seems not to have made a public appearance or statement on sexual exploitation and abuse since 2018.

[AIDS-Free World @AIDS_Free_World]

@antonioguterres has vowed to end “the appalling crimes of sexual violence and exploitation committed under the UN flag.” Yet the UN's highest-ranking official dedicated to the issue appears to be no longer actively engaged in her role. Read here: https://t.co/EZahyJLxxd

.@UNAUK partner @sabrina_white1 calls for greater accountability for sexual #exploitation + abuse in @UNPeacekeeping.

This includes member states developing mechanisms to hold perpetrators to account.

Placing people at the centre of peace operations will make them more accountable and locally grounded.

Together First is calling for people-centred @UNPeacekeeping - our #SteppingStones campaign offers approaches to achieve it:

[United Nations Association - UK (UNA-UK) @UNAUK]

As has been stressed by @EffectivePOps, we urgently need people-centred peacekeeping - to make @UNPeacekeeping more accountable + peacebuilding more locally grounded.

See our reform proposal @TogetherFirst: https://t.co/2fOKwyGOx8

[United Nations Association - UK (UNA-UK) @UNAUK]

Sexual exploitation + abuse in @UNPeacekeeping ruins lives + undermines the trust peacekeeping needs to work effectively.

We must end the culture of impunity. @sabrina_white1 calls for Member States to develop mechanisms holding perpetrators to account: https://t.co/ra1w4Ge5U8

[Mission Justice @Beyond2272]

Delighted to see @TogetherFirst take forward our work and @sabrina_white1's in the context of making people the heart of @UNPeacekeeping and pursuing
@EffectivePOps "people centred" agenda

[TogetherFirst @TogetherFirst]

Peacekeeping needs to be more accountable, inclusive + people-centred.

Our reform recommendation contains four points for making peacekeeping more answerable to conflict affected communities.

Compelling piece from @jasminekimw on why sexual exploitation and abuse by UN Peacekeepers isn't just a moral outrage but an existential threat to @UNPeacekeeping itself https://t.co/KVlOW5ZEh8

We've gathered ideas from people across the globe tackling catastrophic risks.

A proposal on giving the #Peacebuilding Commission a greater role in UN Peace + Security architecture explores how @UN could address the root cause of crises.

The UK government has further postponed the PSVI international conference in light of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. The UK continues to lead global efforts to tackle CRSV & we remain committed to strengthening justice for all survivors #TimeForJustice https://t.co/jAe5uiVUqd

To improve global trust in @UN, @UNPeacekeeping is in need of reform.

The Overseas Operations Bill- intended to curb vexatious claims against veterans - has serious ramifications for justice + #HumanRights.

Ex-AG Dominic Grieve QC says the proposed changes damage our reputation as upholders of the #GenevaConventions.

As part of our efforts to respond to sexual exploitation & abuse by UN personnel, our missions conduct community outreach to inform on sexual exploitation & abuse and how to report it.

📺: Communities across Haiti take part in creative theatre on the topic. #HonouringOurValues

[Mission Justice @Beyond2272]

for us, what this shows is the importance, highlighted by @sabrina_white1 of making sure that the notion of accountability is understood not to mean accountability to organisations like ours but accountability to the victims themselves. To that end our latest policy..

[Mission Justice @Beyond2272]

.. platform (below) includes sections on Restorative Justice, the need for an adequate programme to assist individual victims and children born
from SEA, and a programme of redress and reparations centred around the Trust Fund for Victims
