Abstract

This edited volume focuses on developments in recognizing, investigating, and prosecuting cases of sexual violence in (post-)conflict situations from an interdisciplinary angle. The investigation and prosecution of these cases raises new and challenging questions as to how to build evidence, but also how to address victims? concerns in that process. It addresses innovations and challenges of empirical and other new kinds of social scientific, archival and medical data collection techniques; the development of evidence in relation to charges ranging from sexual violence as a war crime, crime against humanity to genocide; evidentiary and procedural achievements and challenges involved in prosecuting sexual victimization in international courts; and how to create awareness of sexual violence crimes in order to recognize such crimes and to prevent them in the future.

Abstract

Women were historically treated in wartime as property. Yet in the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, prohibitions against pillaging property did not extend to the female body. There is a gap of nearly a hundred years between those early prohibitions of pillage and the prohibition of rape finally enacted in the Rome Statute of 1998. In Looting and Rape in Wartime, Tuba Inal addresses the development of these two separate "prohibition regimes," exploring why states make and agree to laws that determine the way war is conducted, and what role gender plays in this process. Inal argues that three conditions are necessary for the emergence of a global prohibition regime: first, a state must believe that it is necessary to comply with the prohibition and that to do otherwise would be costly; second, the idea that a particular practice is undesirable must become the norm; finally, a prohibition regime emerges with state and nonstate actors supporting it all along the way. These conditions are met by the prohibition against pillage, which developed from a confluence of material circumstances and an ideological context: the nineteenth century fostered ideas about the sanctity of private property, which made the act of looting seem more abhorrent. Meanwhile, the existence of conscripted and regulated armies meant that militaries could take measures to prevent it. In that period, however, rape was still considered a crime of passion or a symptom of behavioral disorder-in other words, a distortion of male sexuality and outside of state control-and it would take many decades to erode the grip of those ideas. Only toward the end of the twentieth century did transformations in gender ideology and the increased participation of women in politics bring about broad cultural shifts in the way we perceive sexual violence, women, and women's roles in policy and lawmaking. In examining the historical and ideological context of how these two regimes evolved, Looting and Rape in Wartime provides vital perspective on the forces that block or bring about change in international relations.

Abstract

Non, la haine et la violence ne sont pas inscrites dans les gènes des peuples des Grands Lacs! Mais que penser de ces images en provenance de l’Est du Congo, de cette guerre qui a pris un nouveau visage, celui de la barbarie, de la cruauté gratuite? Avec les femmes comme principales victimes: violées, mutilées, terrorisées.Depuis quinze ans, Denis Mukwege, médecin-chef à l’hôpital de Panzi (Sud-Kivu), fait face à une urgence qui dure: vagins détruits et âmes mortes. Le gynécologue coud et répare. A mains nues, il se bat contre le viol, cette arme de guerre qui mine toute une société. Son combat lui vaut une large reconnaissance internationale, dont le prix des droits de l’homme en France et le prix Roi Baudouin pour le développement 2011.Plongeant le lecteur dans ce Kivu paradisiaque devenu un enfer, ce livre doit sa force aux regards croisés de deux témoins de premier plan: Colette Braeckman, une journaliste passionnée par le Congo, qui revient d’abord sur les séquences du désastre. Un rappel historique indispensable. Elle nous invite ensuite à démêler les mobiles des seigneurs de la guerre, fait écho à la souffrance des femmes, leur rend hommage... Sa plume «trahit» sa colère, son écoeurement, sa compassion. Parfois désenchantée et révoltée, mais jamais fataliste. Denis Mukwege, au premier plan, vit ces horreurs de l’intérieur. Avec lui, c’est bien sûr le médecin qui parle, mais très vite l’homme, le citoyen s’exprime. Ses réflexions complètent à merveille le récit hallucinant de l’auteur. Le résultat : un ouvrage original et puissant… (Bron: covertekst)
