UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Four United Nations staff were fired for sharing child pornography on email, while another staff member was sacked for using an official vehicle to transport marijuana, according to a management report on criminal cases in the year to June 30.
The report documents disciplinary matters and cases of criminal behavior involving U.N. secretariat staff. There are some 41,000 U.N. secretariat staff from 188 countries. The report did not reveal the locations of the staff who were dismissed or when they were fired.
The United Nations has been hit with a stream of allegations this year of misconduct and sexual abuse by peacekeepers in Central African Republic. The management report does not include cases involving peacekeepers.
