In an effort to clean up his act, Jack takes a job as a courthouse reporter for the Kennebec Observer. What seems like a safe choice becomes dangerous when Jack is drawn into a domestic abuse case that leaves a woman dead and McMorrow tangled in a messy web of innuendo, conflicted emotions, and mortal danger. It's time for Jack to grow up, but can he do it? Is it his destiny to follow his subjects into a life of rancor and violence, or will he be able to escape the call of his darker side and find some measure of peace?FictionMcmorrow, Jack (Fictitious Character)MaineJournalists813/.54Boyle Gerry1433447MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910157793903321Lifeline3581462UNINA05113nam 2200865Ia 450 991078752370332120220304022914.00-8122-2454-X0-8122-0842-010.9783/9780812208429(CKB)2670000000418262(OCoLC)858523127(CaPaEBR)ebrary10748534(SSID)ssj0001036537(PQKBManifestationID)11629187(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001036537(PQKBWorkID)11041944(PQKB)10115511(OCoLC)867739914(MdBmJHUP)muse27240(DE-B1597)449770(OCoLC)979881186(DE-B1597)9780812208429(Au-PeEL)EBL3442133(CaPaEBR)ebr10748534(CaONFJC)MIL682585(MiAaPQ)EBC3442133(EXLCZ)99267000000041826220130328d2013 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrSex and international tribunals[electronic resource] the erasure of gender from the war narrative /Chiseche Salome Mibenge1st ed.Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania Pressc20131 online resource (246 p.)Pennsylvania Studies in Human RightsBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-322-51303-1 0-8122-4518-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Introduction.

There Are No Raped Women Here --Notes --Works Cited --Index --AcknowledgmentsBefore the twenty-first century, there was little legal precedent for the prosecution of sexual violence as a war crime. Now, international tribunals have the potential to help make sense of political violence against both men and women; they have the power to uphold victims' claims and to convict the leaders and choreographers of systematic atrocity. However, by privileging certain accounts of violence over others, tribunals more often confirm outmoded gender norms, consigning women to permanent rape victim status. In Sex and International Tribunals, Chiseche Salome Mibenge identifies the cultural assumptions behind the legal profession's claims to impartiality and universality. Focusing on the postwar tribunals in Rwanda and Sierra Leone, Mibenge mines the transcripts of local and supranational criminal trials and truth and reconciliation commissions in order to identify and closely examine legal definitions of forced marriage, sexual enslavement, and the conscription of children that overlook the gendered experiences of armed conflict beyond the mass rape of women and girls. In many cases, a single rape conviction constitutes sufficient proof that gender-based violence has been mainstreamed into the prosecution of war crimes. Drawing on anthropological research in African conflicts, and feminist theory, Mibenge challenges legal narratives that reinscribe essentialized notions of gender in the conduct and resolution of violent conflict and uncovers the suppressed testimonies of men and women who are unwilling or unable to recite the legal scripts that would elevate them to the status of victimhood recognized by an international and humanitarian audience. At a moment when international intervention in conflicts is increasingly an option, Sex and International Tribunals points the way to a more nuanced and just response from courts.Pennsylvania studies in human rights.Rape as a weapon of warCase studiesCriminal investigation (International law)Rape as a weapon of warRwandaRape as a weapon of warSierra LeoneWomenViolence againstRwandaWomenViolence againstSierra LeoneRwandaHistoryCivil War, 1994WomenSierra LeoneHistoryCivil War, 1991-2002WomenAnthropology.Folklore.Gender Studies.Human Rights.Law.Linguistics.Rape as a weapon of warCriminal investigation (International law)Rape as a weapon of warRape as a weapon of warWomenViolence againstWomenViolence against341.6/9Mibenge Chiseche Salome1480467MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787523703321Sex and international tribunals3697126UNINA
