The fight against sexual exploitation and abuse perpetrated by " peacekeepers".- Félix Blanco y de la Torre

The serious and continuous allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse by United Nations peacekeepers and non-United Nations forces, including military, civilian and police personnel, have claimed a broad attention by the international media since the case was disclosed in April 2015. A big number of allegations and the fact that, in most of the cases, the victims were minors triggered a strong reaction of the international community and forced the United Nations Secretary General to take exceptional measures. The changes in the communication strategy, which includes now the publication of the nationality of alleged perpetrators in reports as well as media press releases, and a broader call for repatriations endorsed by an unprecedented resolution, are its most relevant examples.
