On 17 December 2015, the independent panel established to review the UN's response to allegations in spring 2014 that international troops serving in a peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic had sexually abused a number of young children in exchange for food or money presented their findings to the UN Secretary-General.
The Report finds that the manner in which the UN agencies responded to the allegations was seriously flawed and that three UN official abused their authority. The Report included recommendations on improving the UN's response to sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers.
The Report is available online here.
