Developed by King’s College London’s Centre for Military Ethics, this course presents a general introduction to the basic ethical aspects of peace operations. The UN Core Values — integrity, professionalism, and respect for diversity — form the basis for this course. Through the use of case studies and practical examples, this compilation aims to be a guideline for peace support personnel in the field. Topics include: the Code of Conduct; cultural awareness; gender and peace operations; sexual exploitation and abuse and human trafficking; child protection; human rights in peace operations; HIV/AIDS Awareness; and UN guidelines and procedures on discipline for uniformed peace operations forces. The course also includes recent reforms within the UN System and an increased focus on the gender perspective in peace operations. Eight lessons.
