Peacekeeping deployments, intragroup cohesion, and the use of sexual violence by armed non-state groups/ Bryce Wesley Reeder, Rachel Dicke
Publication details: 2023Subject(s): Online resources: In: International Peacekeeping, Volume 30. Number 2, April 2023, pg. 230-258Summary: How do United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions influence the use of conflict related sexual violence (CRSV) by armed non-state actors? This study argues efficacy is influenced by conditions that precede deployment and the composition of UN forces. Poor intragroup cohesion within rebel ranks incentivizes CRSV, putting peacekeepers in a precarious position upon deployment. UN police improve law enforcement capabilities, build relationships with local communities, and promote information diffusion mechanisms. As a result, UN police are associated with a decrease in CRSV, even in the most difficult environments.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
