The UN Secretariat provides annual statistics on allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse made against peacekeeping personnel, with reduced numbers of allegations leading to claims of success for the UN's zero tolerance' policy. This article explores the use of data as technologies' of global governance, to examine the function that these annual statistics serve for the UN and the impact that they have on calls for legal reform. Thus far, the statistics have attracted little academic appraisal. Yet, they have been used to establish the UN's authority to resolve the problem' of sexual exploitation and abuse, diminishing the space for critique of UN policy and undermining the quest for improved legal arrangements.
