In order to reclaim its reputation, the UN has committed itself to the Zero Tolerance policy embodied in the Secretary-General’s Bulletin of 2003, which has been subject to detailed analysis. This paper’s aim is to reconsider the policy’s genesis and problems from the perspective of discordance between politics and law. I argue that the Zero Tolerance policy can be understood as the UN’s attempt to resolve discordance between political and legal lines which separate the UN (internality) from non-UN elements (externality). The <em>political</em> boundary internalises broader conduct and tasks within the UN. The <em>legal </em>boundary, however, externalises much of the conduct and tasks that are internalised by the political line. The place of the Zero Tolerance policy is therefore to substantially remedy such ‘discordance’ between politics and law, by aligning the policies of externalities with those of the UN.</p>Machiko KanetakeAmsterdam Law ForumarticleUN peacekeeping, sexual exploitation, zero tolerance, rule of law, discordanceLawKENAmsterdam Law Forum, Vol 4, Iss 4, Pp 51-61 (2012)
