The United Nations (UN) says it
has identified and suspended another staff member involved in a recent sex
video.
The video, which went viral in
June, showed a couple apparently having sex in one of the official UN vehicles
in Tel Aviv, the Israeli capital.
After an investigation into the
incident, on July 2, the UN announced that two male employees had been
identified and suspended.
On Monday, the suspension of
another male employee was announced.
Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for
the secretary-general, disclosed this during a media briefing on Monday, while
giving an update on the investigation into the video involving staff members of
the UN Truce Supervision Organisation (UNTSO).
“A third male international staff
member who was in the UN vehicle in Tel Aviv has also been identified as having
engaged in alleged misconduct,” he said.
“The staff member has been placed
on Administrative Leave without Pay, pending the results and conclusion of the
ongoing Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) investigation.”
Stephane Dujarric, UN spokesman,
had described the video as shocking and disturbing.
Meanwhile, according to a 2019
report on sexual exploitation and abuse involving UN staff members or personnel
affiliated to the organisation, a total of 175 allegations were received, out
of which 93 are ongoing.
