The United Nations (UN) included Israel and Russia in its 2026 blacklist of parties suspected of conflict-related sexual violence.
The UN report documented verified cases of sexual violence in conflict zones during 2025, including incidents involving detainees in the occupied Palestinian territories and during the conflict in Ukraine.
The report recorded nearly 10,000 cases of conflict-related sexual violence worldwide in 2025, more than double the number reported in the previous year.
The blacklist forms part of the UN’s annual monitoring mechanism on conflict-related sexual violence and is intended to promote accountability and preventive action.
