Sexual Conduct and Peacekeeping -- UN Peacekeeping Operations: the Emerging Problem of Sexual Exploitation -- The Secretary-General’s Bulletin: Evolution and Reception -- Research Background, Aims and Methods.-Sexual Relationships in UN Peacekeeping Operations -- Sexual Exploitation and Prostitution in UN Peacekeeping Operations -- Rethinking ‘Sexual Exploitation’ in UN Peacekeeping Operations.

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.
