Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in UN Peace Operations

This is a joint research project, looked at 'Prevention and Accountability of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) in United Nations Peace Operations'. The project was led Dr Ai Kihara-Hunt Associate Professor, the University of Tokyo (Principal Investigator), an expert on the prosecution of crimes committed by UN Peace Operations personnel. Dr Kihara-Hunt was joined by Dr Marsha Henry Associate Professor, London School of Economics (Co-Investigator.)

The project considered the UN’s internal disciplinary procedures and the implementation of organisational rules and policies. By having these analytical streams, the project will provide a more holistic account of UN SEA prevention and accountability responses, by aiming to examine SEA from a critical gender and peace perspective.
