JIMENEZ VILLARREAL, Jaime Edgar Maximiliano  and  JIMENEZ MONTALVO, Daniel Andrés. Sexual violence in post-conflict zones: Reflections on the case of the Central African Republic. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.27, pp.504-523. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.436.

This article exposes allegations of sexual violence from 2015 to 2016 by United Nations peace-keepers during the peace operation of the Central African Republic. The main objective is to highlight accusations of sexual exploitation and abuse and condemn the measures implemented by the United Nations. An attempt is made to answer whether international humanitarian law should judge acts of sexual violence perpetrated by peacekeepers towards civilians in post-conflict zones. The analysis, carried out through bibliographic-documentary research, intends to oppose impunity and reinforce the credibility of peace operations, as well as their personnel as instruments of conflict resolution in the international scenario.

Keywords : Anders Kompass; Central African Republic; human rights; international human right; peacemakers; sexual abuse.
