Policy on Internal Evaluations and Inspections of UN Police

Abstract

This Policy replaces 2006.16 Guidelines for the Internal Evaluation of Police Components of Peace Operations. The document outlines the policy for the conduct of internal evaluations and inspections by the Police Division Standards Compliance and Audit Officer or by the Internal Evaluation Units (IEU) of United Nations police components in peacekeeping operations and special political missions. It also defines the relationship and the division of labour between the Police Division Standards Compliance and Audit Officer and the United Nations police components. It is consistent with the DPKO/DFS Headquarters Self-Evaluation Policy (August 2010). Compliance with this Policy is mandatory for all Headquarters and field personnel in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and Department of Field Support (DFS), in particular United Nations police officers and other personnel working in United Nations peace operations on rule of law issues that may be subject to evaluations and investigations.
