Special measures for gender equality in the United Nations

The United Nations Secretariat, in September 1999, promulgated Administrative Instruction (AI) on "Special Measures for the Achievement Of Gender Equality" (ST/AI/1999/9, also Gender Equality A/I), to strengthen and expedite measures to achieve gender equality in the United Nations' staff, especially in posts in the Professional category. Gender Equality A/I (ST/AI/1999/9), which superseded ST/AI/412 of 5 January 1996, came into effect on 1 October 1999.
