This book has focused on three aspects of MINUSTAH’s human rights responsibilities: (i) accountability for the outbreak and spread of cholera, (ii) sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers, and (iii) the use of deadly force against non-combatants. In all three studies the mission’s practice has been found wanting. We argue that MINUSTAH’s failure to uphold human right standards, together with its lack of transparency and poor accountability, are problems that are likely to arise again in future missions unless Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO)commits to applying IHRL standards to its own activities, changes its practices to reflect this, and puts in place effective measures to ensure transparency and accountability.
