“…Taken together, this signals that states with an interest and engagement in the WPS agenda are keener to criticize CRSV, all else being equal. We can assume that states that shame less or not at all are either uninterested in any WPS-related issue, or that they lack the administrative resources needed both for shaming and for continuous development with action plans (Abebe, 2009; Barrow, 2016). In sum, the first hypothesis finds support in the evidence.…”

Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) is an increasingly consequential crime to perpetrate – at least if we limit our view to reactions within multilateral institutions such as the United Nations (UN) Security Council. Turning to the state-led forum for human rights: the UN Universal Periodic Review (UPR), this study instead uncovers sparse and highly selective condemnation of CRSV. By extracting data on all bilateral shaming relating to sexual violence in the UPR since its inception in 2008, this article demonstrates that only 5% of all governments take the opportunity to condemn major sexual aggressors. The findings should adjust our expectations on the progress rate within the policy field of CRSV and advance our understanding of the challenges tainting international negotiations on the topic.

“…Moreover, Nepal's failure to effectively implement the NAP is not uncommon. Most countries in conflict or emerging from conflict have scarce resources and weak institutional structures (Barrow, 2016;Basini & Ryan, 2016). Therefore, the political will of the government is not enough for the effective implementation of the WPS agenda.…”

This year, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 is celebrating its 20th anniversary, which has brought renewed attention to the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda. Studies examining the progress made since the adoption of res. 1325 point to different challenges that still persist for its effective implementation. One of the main challenges is perceived to be the lack of commitments from local governments, especially with regard to resource allocation for implementation. Although a growing number of UN member states have adopted national action plans (NAPs) on res. 1325, only 34% of them have allocated budgets for their implementation. This study examines the implementation of one of the most praised NAPs, the Nepal NAP 2011. The study reveals that the effectiveness of the WPS agenda relies on many actors, not just the government. The role of international donors is equally crucial. In countries like Nepal, where a large portion of the development budget comes from international donors, giving sole responsibility for the implementation of the WPS agenda to the government limits its transformative potential and raises questions around the accountability of the international community.
