Description
Book SynopsisThis book analyses narrow definitions of gender in international criminal law. Jurisprudence blind spots are examined, such as sexual violence against men, and the gendered dimensions of forced marriage and reproductive crimes. It promotes a more nuanced notion of gender to improve accountability for war crimes, genocide and aggression.
