The volume reviews the obligations of States and the UN to investigate and prosecute criminal acts committed by UN police, and examines the jurisdictional and immunity issues involved. It concludes that these do not constitute legal barriers to accountability, although immunity poses some problems in practice. The principal problem appears to be the lack of political will to bring prosecutions, as well as a lack of transparency, which makes it difficult accurately to determine the scale of the problem. 410 0$aInternational humanitarian law series ;$vVolume 50. 606 $aInternational police 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternational police. 676 $a341.72 700 $aKihara-Hunt$b Ai$01066134 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512003203321 996 $aHolding UNPOL to account$92548650 997 $aUNINA
