This book critically examines the response of the United Nations
(UN) to the problem of sexual exploitation in UN Peace Support
Operations. It assesses the Secretary-General's Bulletin on Special
Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse (2003) (SGB)
and its definition of sexual exploitation, which includes sexual
relationships and prostitution. With reference to people affected
by the policy (using the example of Bosnian women and UN
peacekeepers), and taking account of both radical and 'sex
positive' feminist perspectives, the book finds that the inclusion
of consensual sexual relationships and prostitution in the
definition of sexual exploitation is not tenable. The book argues
that the SGB is overprotective, relies on negative gender and
imperial stereotypes, and is out of step with international human
rights norms and gender equality. It concludes that the SGB must be
revised in consultation with those affected by it, namely local
women and peacekeepers, and must fully respect their human rights
and freedoms, particularly the right to privacy and sexuality
rights.
