Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the prosecution of wartime sexual violence in international criminal law and asks what the juridicalisation of gender-based violence signifies for women. Focusing on the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda as well as subsequent developments in the International Criminal Court, the book explores the portrayal of the various gendered identities that surface in armed conflict and it asks



whether the law is capable of reflecting these in subsequent judgements.
