24. 秘书长在其报告中表示，上述新政策详细说明了有关职能和责任，以确保通过预防、执法和补救行动，执行联合国处理外地特派团不当行为的战略，特别是处理性剥削和性虐待问题的战略。经询问，行预咨委会获悉，供高级管理人员通过的行为与纪律政策，其提出的时间被推迟至 2015 年 2 月的最后一周，原因是须优先编写秘书长关于防止性剥削和性虐待特别保护措施的报告。行预咨委会还获悉，新政策不会改变现有适用于各类别人员的规则，而是将之合并为一份单一文件。该政策还将阐明为确保对所有在维持和平和政治特派团任职的工作人员进行行为与纪律问责而实施的现行框架。经询问，行预咨委会还获得了进一步的资料，即过去三年多记录在案的案件总数，并按各特派团和按案件类型分列。行预咨委会获悉，受处罚的工作人员无人被监禁，也无涉及贩运儿童的案件。行预咨委会将在审议即将提交的秘书长关于防止性剥削和性虐待特别保护措施的报告时，就此问题进一步发表意见，而这些意见也将列入行预咨委会下一份关于维持和平行动共有问题的报告以及其关于有关维持和平特派团 2013/14 年度预算执行情况的报告之中。
24. The Secretary-General states in his report that the above-mentioned new policy on accountability for conduct and discipline in field missions details roles and responsibilities for ensuring the implementation of the United Nations strategy to address misconduct in field missions, in particular sexual exploit ation and abuse, through prevention, enforcement and remedial actions. Upon enquiry, the Advisory Committee was informed that the presentation of the policy on conduct and discipline for adoption by senior management was postponed to the last week of February 2015, owing to priority being given to the preparation of the report of the Secretary-General on special measures for protection from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. The Committee was further informed that the existing rules applicable to different categories of personnel will not be changed in the new policy, but they will be consolidated into a single document. The policy will also set out the existing framework to ensure accountability for the conduct and discipline of all personnel serving in peacekeeping and special political missions. Upon enquiry, the Committee was also provided with further information on the overall number of cases recorded over the past over three years, with a breakdown by missionand type of case. The Committee was informed that none of the staff members against whom a sanction was imposed had been imprisoned and that none of the cases involved the trafficking of children. The Committee will make further observations on the subject in the context of its consideration of the forthcoming report of the Secretary-General on special measures for protection from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse, which will be included in the next report of the Committee on cross-cutting issues related to peacekeeping operations and in its reports on the budget performance of relevant peacekeeping missions for the period 2013/14.
