United Nations staff

In 1998, the General Assembly considered issues related to the conditions of service of United Nations staff members, some arising from proposals made by the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) and others resulting from the Secretary-General’s programme for UN reform. The Assembly amended the Staff Regulations and Rules to accommodate provisions of the new Code of Conduct for UN staff. Of major concern during the year was the safety and security of humanitarian personnel and the protection of UN personnel. In December, the Assembly condemned acts that prevented humanitarian and UN personnel from discharging their humanitarian functions, or which entailed their being subjected to threats, the use of force or physical attacks.
