Abstract:
The United Nations Security Council has recognized that rape and other forms of sexual violence constitute grave international crimes. This recognition is in line with the historical development of international criminal law, as well as with the international community’s longstanding recognition of sexual violence as an international crime. This article identifies provisions related to sexual violence and rape under international law and analyses the adjudication and prosecution of sexual violence by international courts, tribunals, special mixed courts and panels.
