Este ensayo plantea la problemática derivada de no contar con un sistema penal que busque sancionar a los funcionarios o agentes de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas que abusen de su posición o influencia, para obtener privilegios o cualquier tipo de ventaja social, política o económica. Los funcionarios de dicha organización cuentan con una vía libre a la impunidad debido a la falta de un sistema penal mundial que
los juzgue por los crímenes cometidos en ejercicio de su cargo. Ejemplos de esto son (i) la violación masiva
de mujeres en el Congo por parte de los Cascos Azules, o (ii) los negocios de los cuales se lucraron numerosos funcionarios de la entidad en desarrollo de acuerdos ilegales con el gobierno de Irak, relacionados con el acuerdo de Petróleo por Comida pactado con dicho país. Finalmente, se argumenta a favor de la necesidad de crear un nuevo sistema penal para los funcionarios o agentes de las Naciones
Unidas, y se sugieren algunas ideas preliminares sobre cómo alcanzar dicha meta.
