Damage to interests or violation of rights sometimes occur (such as during peacekeeping operations). Wellens considers the remedies available to potential claimants such as private contractors, staff members or anyone suffering damage. Can they turn to an ombudsman or national courts, or do they have to rely on support by their own state? Are the remedies provided by international organisations adequate? Wellens' study includes suggestions for alternative remedial options.International organisations have become major players on the international scene, whose acts and activities affect individuals, companies and states.
