The United Nations has a three-pronged strategy to eliminate
sexual exploitation and abuse: prevention of misconduct,
enforcement of UN standards of conduct and remedial action.
Training, awareness-raising activities and preventative measures
at mission level are at the center of the actions taken by
peacekeeping operations and special political missions to
prevent sexual exploitation and abuse. Conduct and discipline
issues are an essential component of pre-deployment and in-
mission induction training, which is mandatory for all civilian,
military and police peacekeeping personnel. Pre-deployment
training for all international civilian staff is conducted by
the Department of Peacekeeping Operations’ Integrated Training
Service (ITS) at the UN Logistics Base in Brindisi, Italy. Troop
Contributing Countries and Police Contributing Countries are
responsible for providing mandatory pre-deployment training for
military and police personnel. This training is usually
delivered by peacekeeping training institutions
