mission conduct:
what"s expected of you as a UN employee
As an employee of the United Nations, you represent the organization in
the field. In some cases, because of your remote location, you and your coworkers
will literally BE the United Nations at your mission. Therefore we
require the same standards of conduct in the field as we expect back in our
home environment. In this section you will find a helpful list of reminders of
what is expected of you and standards for conduct while on mission.
