This article examines how the CEDAW Committee and the UN Security Council (UNSC) may operate simultaneously to maximize overall accountability for women’s rights in armed conflict. Although both institutions have adopted concurrent provisions with respect to women and conflict, the UNSC maintains a security-focus while the CEDAW Committee operates under a feminist rights-based approach. Despite these differences in mandate, the author argues that such tensions provide the opportunity for cross-regime dialogue and inter-regime accountability. In order to realize progress on women’s rights in conflict, the article endorses three different interactional undertakings: 1) enhanced data-sharing and joint reporting to address sexual exploitation within the UN system; 2) independent execution of institutional agendas to pursue state-level accountability through monitoring (CEDAW) and peacebuilding (UNSC) activities; and 3) greater integration of women’s human rights in the interpretation of the UNSC mandate.
