SEXUAL ABUSES AT UN PEACEKEEPING MISSIONS

Summary/Abstract: Over the past almost 30 years UN peacekeeping operations have been consistently tainted by widespread reports of sexual assault, abuse and exploitation committed by peacekeepers. The fact that these peacekeepers, who are seen as a symbol of hope for so many in need around the world, could be further victimizing those they are intended to protect and help is a horrible situation to imagine not to mention live the reality of. This epidemic is exacerbated by the lack of ability on the part of the UN to put an end to these types of abuses. We will examine for the purposes of this paper the history of abuse and violations on UN peacekeeping missions, the measures taken by the UN to address the problem, outside suggestions for solutions, and finally address my personal views on how these issues can be solved in the long term.
