近年来，人们更加重视对平民的保护和性暴力问题。我们探讨了联合国维和行动对战时性暴力发生的影响。认识到减少性暴力的困难，我们提出维持和平人员更有可能取得成功的两个条件：特派团有保护任务时，以及冲突行为者对其部队行使高度控制时。我们发现，维和人员总体上减少性暴力的能力很弱。只有保护任务中的警察才能降低叛军实施性暴力的风险。然而，当行为者行使控制时，维和人员的数量与政府和叛军实施性暴力的风险较低有关。我们的结论是，应对软弱和支离破碎的行为者的性暴力是一项具有挑战性的任务，超出了联合国维持和平的现有能力。
Recent years have seen an increased emphasis on both protection of civilians and the problem of sexual violence. We explore the impact of United Nations (UN) peacekeeping on the occurrence of wartime sexual violence. Acknowledging the difficulty in reducing sexual violence, we propose two conditions under which peacekeepers are more likely to be successful: when the mission has a protection mandate and when the conflict actors exercise a high level of control over their forces. We find that the ability of peacekeepers to reduce sexual violence in general is weak. Only police within protection missions reduces the risk of sexual violence by rebels. However, when the actors exercise control, the number of peacekeepers is associated with a lower risk of sexual violence by both governments and rebels. We conclude that dealing with sexual violence by weak and fragmented actors is a challenging task beyond the current capacity of UN peacekeeping.
