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.

Criminal accountability for #UN sex crimes “remained largely unachieved" with no success regarding civilian personnel, according to a 2021 #OIOS report. And so far this year, UN data show that a startling 50% of sex abuse allegations in peacekeeping involve civilian perpetrators.
