Gaps In Gender-Based Violence Jurisprudence Of International And Hybrid Criminal Courts: Can Human Rights Law Help, Susana Sacouto

Contributions to Books

Great progress has been made over the last two decades in the investigation and prosecution of sexual and gender-based violence, in particular by the ad-hoc International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR). Yet the practice and jurisprudence of these tribunals makes clear that significant challenges remain, including inconsistency in how to understand – and therefore how to prove and adequately link to higher level perpetrators – crimes of sexual violence committed in the context of conflict, mass violence or repression.
