<p>The UK has been anticipating this report and is deeply concerned by its findings.
Whilst the UK welcomes the UN Secretary General's initial response, we urge the UN
to increase its efforts to tackle sexual harassment and will look for the earliest
opportunity to discuss this with them. The Foreign and Development Secretaries raised
the issue of sexual harassment with the UN Secretary-General last December and the
Minister for the Commonwealth and the UN discussed the issue with the Under Secretary-General
Head of the UN Task Force on Sexual Harassment in October. Senior officials have also
been in regular contact with senior United Nations representatives to push for action
to tackle these issues.</p>
