Now that R&R for peacekeeping and special political missions are harmonized with the rest of the UN common system, how is it decided which duty stations will have R&R (and what the cycle will be)? Will missions still be able to send in their recommendation? 

Rest and recuperation cycles for field missions are aligned with those of the UN agencies, funds and programmes. The International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) has established the framework which guides the determination of locations designated for rest and recuperation and the cycle.  Duty stations shall be approved for rest and recuperation by the Office of Human Resources Management following inter-agency consultations.

Field missions will continue to be consulted and will be able to provide their recommendation but should do so in consultation with the UN Country Team.
