ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explores various ways in which the United Nations (UN) can improve accountability for sexual exploitation and abuse committed by military contingent members. It also explores the existence of international obligations on troop-contributing countries (TCCs) to exercise their criminal jurisdiction in respect of sexual exploitation and abuse. The book illustrates that sexual exploitation and abuse are human rights violations and that UN measures against TCC inaction does not go far enough to appropriately respond to those violations. It examines the establishment of an entirely new framework, which would aim to better centralise the role of victims and their communities and decentralise the primary role of TCCs. The book focuses on the participation of victims in the criminal justice process and for the provision of transformative reparations.
