Chapter Outline
HR Headline: Sexual Harassment at the United Nations
The United Nations (UN) is struggling with sexual
harassment complaints among its global staff of around 60,000 people around
the world. Since many UN managers have diplomatic immunity the
organizations internal justice system is the only one employees can use.
However, the system was set up in 1946 and employs a bewildering array of
channels and processes that has resulted in many harassment cases not being
settled to anyones satisfaction. Often, when someone complains their
employment contract is not renewed when their current contract expires and
the case is ended.
