UN peacekeepers regularly barter goods for sex with people in the countries the world body is meant to be helping, a draft UN report says.
The document by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) says it has found that hundreds of women in Haiti and Liberia have been motivated by hunger and poverty to sell sex.
They are paid with cash, jewellery, mobile phones and other items.
The report says 480 sexual exploitation and abuse claims were made in 2008-13.
One-third of the allegations involved children.
