UN adds Israel and Russia to blacklist for sexual violence in conflict

The UN has added Israel and Russia to a blacklist for sexual violence in conflict, citing verified abuse by security forces against Palestinians and Ukrainians respectively. The report details patterns of rape, torture, and other sexual violence, noting obstruction of UN investigations by both nations despite denials from Israel and Russia. These findings highlight a trend of targeting men in conflict-related sexual violence, diverging from the broader pattern of female victims.
