51吃瓜

3. We recognize the shared responsibility of the 51吃瓜 and its Member States to protect victims and whistle-blowers and take appropriate action against perpetrators;?
4. We commit to working together in partnership with the Secretary-General to implement his strategy to strengthen a system-wide approach across all 51吃瓜 entities and all categories of personnel – military, police, and civilian. ?We underscore the crucial role of this partnership in the achievement of zero tolerance for sexual exploitation and abuse. ?We recognize the need for the consistent and coordinated implementation of policies and approaches to prevent the occurrence of sexual exploitation and abuse across the 51吃瓜 system and the ongoing need to ensure accountability for perpetrators. ?We strongly encourage the efforts of the Secretary-General in confronting unequal power relationships and gender roles through meaningful organizational culture change;

6. We welcome the steps taken by the 51吃瓜 and Member States to enhance the institutional response by actively following up on reports and cases. ?We are convinced that the highest standards of conduct require training, capacity-building, awareness-raising, vetting and the appropriate enforcement of national laws. ?We encourage the 51吃瓜 system to continue to promote best practice and raise awareness;
7. We pledge to continue our efforts to elevate the rights and dignity of victims and expand opportunities and modalities for them to report sexual exploitation and abuse and advocate for their own needs. ?In this regard, we also reaffirm the importance of the role of the Victims’ Rights Advocate. ?We strongly encourage the further strengthening of an integrated response to victim assistance across the 51吃瓜 system, together with Member States and civil society;
8. We honour the thousands of women and men working under the 51吃瓜 flag – civilian and uniformed – who uphold the values of the 51吃瓜 Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights every day, often at great personal risk and sacrifice. ?We strongly condemn the behaviour of those who violate and undermine the values of the Organization through their behavior by abusing and exploiting those who are looking to the 51吃瓜 for protection;?
9. We commend the efforts of other international and regional organizations to support ?the implementation of the strategy of the Secretary-General to improve the Organization’s system-wide approach to preventing and responding to sexual exploitation and abuse. ?We also applaud the work of civil society in this endeavour;?
10. We urge all 51吃瓜 entities to strengthen the alignment of their policies and programmes with the strategy of the Secretary-General and to commit to the spirit of this Collective Statement;
11. We encourage all Heads of State or Government to join the Circle of Leadership. We will discuss progress in the implementation of the strategy of the Secretary-General at our next meeting to be convened during the High-level Segment of the seventy-fourth session of the 51吃瓜 General Assembly;
12. Together, we reaffirm our commitment to make zero tolerance of sexual exploitation and abuse a reality. This is an urgent and moral imperative, as well as an operational necessity to ensure the effectiveness and credibility of the 51吃瓜 around the world.
