Sex and Gender Crimes in the New International Law: Past, Present, Future (repost)

Sex and Gender Crimes in the New International Law: Past, Present, Future (Nijhoff Law Specials, Vol. 75) by Alona Hagay-Frey
English | ISBN: 9004189122 | 2011 | 160 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB

In times of conflict, women have traditionally been excluded from protection of the law. This book analyzes the treatment of sex and gender crimes under international law by identifying various legal eras, from the inception of international criminal law until its most recent formulation, the Rome Statute.

The author conducts her critical journey armed with insights about the development of the crime of rape in domestic law and feminist theories, and exposes gaps and silences in international law's treatment of sex and gender crimes. The author claims that the underlying stratum of sex crimes the gender stratum must be acknowledged.

Hence, it is not sufficient to treat rape as another offense under existing traditional crime categories. It must also be anchored as a separate crime category that clearly establishes the boundaries of the legal norm, harmonizes different nations laws, and eradicates the remnants of patriarchy linked to this offense.
