Who holds the UN accountable when It breaks the rules? | Al Jazeera Explains

The UN investigates abuses worldwide. But when its own personnel or operations cause harm, who can deliver justice?

From sexual abuse allegations against UN peacekeepers to Haiti’s deadly cholera epidemic and major corruption scandals, the United Nations has faced serious questions about its own accountability.

The organisation investigates governments, documents violations of international law and calls for justice. Yet its own legal protections, internal oversight systems and dependence on member states can make accountability far more complicated.

Why can’t the UN prosecute its own military peacekeepers? How does legal immunity affect victims seeking justice? And who investigates the organisation when its own safeguards fail?

Through cases involving Haiti, UN peacekeeping missions, the Oil-for-Food programme and financial misconduct at UNOPS, Al Jazeera explains the gap between accountability in principle and justice in practice.

The UN asks governments to answer for their actions. But who makes the United Nations answer for its own?
