34. 行预委员会要求得到过去三年记录的据称违反保密要求案件的数据。行预咨委会获悉，虽然一些案件略微涉及在采购和其他工作中向第三方不当披露信息(工作人员条例 1.2(i))等情况，但其主要问题是违反了工作人员条例和规则，而不是违反保密要求。记录的一个案件显示，一名工作人员在执行公务中明显违反了交其处理的官方信函的保密要求，该涉案人员已被开除。行预咨委会将在审议秘书长的相关报告时继续处理这个问题。
34. The Advisory Committee requested statistics on the number of cases of alleged breaches of confidentiality recorded over the past three years, the sanctions imposed and any disciplinary action taken. It was informed that while a number of cases tangentially involved the improper disclosure of information (staff regulation 1.2 (i)) to a third party, such as in the context of a procurement exercise, the cases typically involved the violation of a staff regulation or rule rather than a breach of confidentiality. One case, which had been recorded as a clear breach of confidentiality of official communications entrusted to a staff member during the course of the performance of duties, had resulted in the dismissal of the individual in question. The Committee will revert to the issue in the context of its consideration of the relevant reports of the Secretary-General.
