Even as peacekeeping by the United Nations and international humanitarian assistance reflect some of our best human rights values, they can result in grave harms where the relevant actors fail to account for existing structural power imbalances and to treat affected populations as rights holders. In Haiti, UN peacekeepers and other humanitarian actors have been responsible for human rights abuses, including widespread sexual exploitation and abuse of Haitian women and girls that resulted in hundreds of fatherless children. Instead of supporting survivors in seeking justice and restitution, including by facilitating parental contributions, the UN system at best abandons victims to seek redress on their own through byzantine transnational legal mechanisms. At worst, it actively impedes accountability. In this presentation, we will explore the dynamics underlying sexual exploitation and abuse, especially by international actors, in Haiti; examine the failures of the UN system to offer accountability for victims; and discuss what needs to change.
