{"product_id":"war-crimes-against-women-9789041104861","title":"War Crimes Against Women","description":"This book examines laws and customs of war prohibiting rape crimes dating back thousands of years, even though gender-specific crimes, particularly  sex crimes, have been prevalent in wartime for centuries. It surveys the  historical treatment of women in wartime, and argues that all the various  forms of gender-specific crimes must be prosecuted and punished. It  reviews the Nuremberg and Tokyo War Crimes Tribunals from a gendered  perspective, and discusses how crimes against women could have been  prosecuted in these tribunals and suggests explanations as to why they were neglected. It addresses the status of women in domestic and international  law during the past one hundred years, including the years preceding World  War II and in the aftermath of this war, and in the years immediately  preceding the Yugoslav conflict. The evolution of the status and  participation of women in international human rights and international  humanitarian law is analyzed, including the impact domestic law and  practice has had on international law and practice. Finally, this book  reviews gender-specific crimes in the Yugoslav conflict, and presents arguments as to how various gender-specific crimes (including rape, forced  prostitution, forced impregnation, forced maternity, forced sterilization,  genocidal rape, and sexual mutilation) can be, and why they must be,  prosecuted under Articles 2-5 of the Yugoslav Statute (i.e., as  grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, torture, violations of the laws of war, violations of the customs of war, genocide, and crimes against  humanity). \u003cbr\u003eThe author, a human rights attorney, academic, and activist, spent three  years researching both the treatment of women during periods of armed conflict and humanitarian laws protecting women from war crimes.","brand":"Kelly Dawn Askin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48270520287483,"sku":"9789041104861","price":385.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_5f1717f1-26a3-4b21-8997-d59f37efc2c4.jpg?v=1770969642","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/war-crimes-against-women-9789041104861","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
