Welcomes the continued efforts of the Ethics Office to implement multilingualism;

Also welcomes the activities of the Ethics Office to increase awareness of ethics-related issues for all staff, and requests the Office to include further information on the measures proposed to enhance its work in this field in the context of its next report;

Notes the increase in participation in the voluntary financial disclosure programme, requests the Secretary-General to further encourage senior officials to make public, on a voluntary basis, a summary of their confidential financial disclosures, and requests the Ethics Office to comment, in the context of its next report, on the feasibility of extending the programme on a mandatory basis.
