The Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights,

context of international personnel taking part in peace support operations,
Concerned about the allegations of criminal behaviour and other misconduct by military
and civilian personnel in peace support operations,

decided to entrust Françoise Hampson with the task of drafting, without financial implications, a
working paper on the scope of the activities and accountability of armed forces, United Nations
civilian police, international civil servants and experts taking part in peace support operations,
Recalling also the subsequent discussions during its fifty-fifth, fifty-sixth and
fifty-seventh sessions in which the scope of peace support operations for the purposes of the
paper was clarified,
Noting the recent publication of the report of the Redesign Panel on Administrative
Justice,
Taking into account the working paper on the accountability of international personnel
taking part in peace support operations submitted by Ms. Hampson at its fifty-seventh session
(E/CN.4/Sub.2/2005/42), and the updated information provided in her conference room paper
