Residential Security Measures (RSM)

Last updated 12/03/2018 

The Residential Security Measures (RSM) re Security standards set in place to provide levels of safety and security for UN staff members at their place of residence in countries at risk.

Measures for a duty station are approved by UNSECOORD following an evaluation of a submission by the local Designated Official. The submission must include the measures proposed under RSM, as well as the costs involved.

Once the RSM of a duty station has been approved, its established standards for residential security represent the maximum reimbursable expenses which organizations are allowed to give to their staff at their duty station.
