Routledge International Criminal Law and Sexual Violence Book

Explore the complex legal landscape of wartime sexual violence with this academic work from Routledge. This book examines the prosecution of gender-based violence within international criminal law and investigates what the juridicalisation of these crimes means for women. By analyzing the portrayal of various gendered identities that emerge during armed conflict, the text asks if current legal frameworks are capable of reflecting these realities in judicial decisions. The study provides a deep look at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. It also tracks subsequent developments within the International Criminal Court to show how these tribunals have addressed these issues. This is an essential resource for those studying international law, gender studies, and human rights.
