RESDAL invites to the webinar “Conduct and Discipline in Peace Operations and within the United Nations System”

The Latin American Security and Defence Network (RESDAL) invites to the upcoming webinar “Peace Operations: The Role of the UN Conduct and Discipline Service,” to be held on November 20th at 10:00am (EST). 

The session will focus on the work of the Conduct and Discipline Service (CDS) of the United Nations Secretariat, which leads efforts to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEA) within UN peace operations. Representatives from the CDS will present the policies, standards, and mechanisms that guide the UN’s approach to accountability, victim support, and professional conduct across peacekeeping missions. 

The discussion will also include the participation of Troop- and Police-Contributing Countries (T/PCCs) from the Global South, which will share their national experiences and institutional responses to cases of sexual misconduct. The exchange aims to highlight effective practices and strengthen cooperation to promote transparency, integrity, and prevention in peacekeeping environments. 

Organized by RESDAL, with the participation of the United Nations Conduct and Discipline Service, the webinar is supported by Global Affairs Canada through the Elsie Initiative. It is the third in the “Interregional Conversations from the Global South” series, conducted within the framework of the project Women in Peace Operations: Supporting Inclusive Environments through Interregional Collaboration and National Engagement.
