Abstract

This paper explores the impact of the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 on conflict- related sexual violence and war rape, specifically in the contexts of MINURSO (Western Sahara), MONUSCO (Congo), and UNMISS (South Sudan). UNSCR 1325, intended to introduce a gender perspective into UN Peacekeeping operations, addresses the long- standing use of violence as a weapon of war, particularly in areas termed as the "rape capital" like Congo. Applying the theories of Female Security Studies and Militarized Masculinity, this research evaluates the mandates and actions of UN Peacekeeping before and after the resolution's implementation. The findings reveal significant discrepancies between written commitments and actual actions, highlighting a systematic failure in effective implementation. The paper argues that despite the resolution's potential, the impact remains limited due to inadequate enforcement and insufficient female participation in peacekeeping and peacebuilding processes. © 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
