Fréchette to visit Kosovo as part of tour to eliminate sexual abuse in peacekeeping
Deputy Secretary-General Louise Fréchette will be travelling to Kosovo on Sunday, resuming her visits to peacekeeping missions to reinforce Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s zero-tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse for United Nations personnel.
As she has in previous stops, the Deputy Secretary-General will review the status of relevant prevention and enforcement measures in place at the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).
Ms. Fréchette will be in Kosovo from 5 to 7 June to be followed by a visit to Burundi from 8 to 10 June.
She has already visited UN peacekeeping missions in West Africa from 28 February to 6 March 2005, including those in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire.
