| dc.description.abstract | With the institutionalization of international criminal law through the ad hoc international tribunals of Yugoslavia and Rwanda and the International Criminal Court, sexual violence has been introduced as an international crime. The International Criminal Court, beyond recognizing and codifying sexual violence as “the most serious crimes of international concern”, indicted individuals of the charges of sexual violence. Such devotion of ICC in the codification of gender crime within its jurisdiction, gender perspective mainstreaming and the progress in the cases in this regard has been highly anticipated by the advocates of gender justice. Sexual Violence as an International Crime: Critical Analysis of International Criminal Court in Investigation and Prosecution of Sexual Crimes attempts to investigate how the ICC has been dealing with such cases involving charges of sexual violence in fulfilling such high expectation of gender crime jurisprudence. The study, by analyzing the cases in the ICC involving sexual crime charges, investigates the problems faced by the ICC in achieving the originally hoped gender justice. The finding of the study exhibits that ICC is not fully and properly investigating and indicting sexual crimes within its jurisdiction and is not in the ability to apprehend and prosecute suspects and is not in a position to have deterrent effect on future crimes. The depth analysis of cases in progress reveals that justice for women is not coming soon enough as hoped for. | en_US |
