The UN has a number of effective tools at its disposal to help push forward this objective. The Security Council, for example, could designate consistent leadership within the Council on this issue and consider methods to maintain its engagement in a more comprehensive manner. In addition, the Secretary-General could, in appropriate situations, make greater use of the team of experts to deploy to areas of concern, as allowed for in the Council's resolution 1888 (2009). These experts could assist States in strengthening the rule of law, including building judicial capacity and security sector reform. Such efforts would go a long way toward achieving justice for victims and discouraging future abuse.
