Protection of civilians and peacekeeping's accountability deficit/ Timothy Donais and Eric Tanguay
Material type: TextPublication details: 2021Subject(s): Online resources: In: International Peacekeeping Vol 28, No.4, August 2021, pp.553-578 (96)Summary: This paper explores the politics of the accountability debate and the prospects for improved peacekeeper accountability in the context of protection of civilians (PoC) mandates, with an understanding that civilians in conflict often need protection not only from conflict parties but also - as the struggles with sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) demonstrate - from peacekeepers themselves. While strengthened accountability mechanisms can help bridge the gap between the promise and the practice of protection, declining peacekeeping budgets and the amorphous and all-encompassing nature of PoC mandates complicate developing specific performance metrics and accountability mechanisms.Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
