Sexual Violence in the Digital Age
The emergence of new interactions, notably those online, has led to the parallel development of criminal behaviors—not all of which are captured by the current legal framework. This article addresses the challenge posed to criminal law by the emergence of technologically facilitated violence, specifically its sexualized online forms. In particular, it argues for cautious yet specific criminalization of violent behaviors online whilst considering …
Text-Based (Sexual) Abuse and Online Violence Against Women
The ideal of an open, all-inclusive, and participatory internet has been undermined by the rise of gender-based and misogynistic abuse on social media platforms. Limited progress has been made at supranational and national levels in addressing this issue, and where steps have been taken to combat online violence against women (OVAW), they are typically limited to legislative developments addressing image-based sexual abuse. As such, harms associa…
Towards an Intersectional Understanding of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence
In the past 25 years, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ( ICTY ) has contributed significantly to a more sophisticated understanding of conflict-related sexual violence ( CRSV ) in international criminal law. The ICTY ’s jurisprudence has broken new ground in relation to the prosecution of CRSV , but also has brought to light the multifaceted challenges associated with the prosecution of such crimes at an international…
Sexual and gender-based violence
This article aims to advance the idea of transformative justice by building on and expanding the notion of ‘justice’ beyond that traditionally offered by transitional justice discourse and practice. The need for a paradigm shift is warranted by the continued high levels of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), directed predominantly towards women, experienced in post-conflict contexts. Using the example of Cambodia, we argue that the scale of …
The Oxford Handbook of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies
About justice that is yet to come
The past three decades has seen increasing recognition of the gender-specific impact of armed conflict. This issue became especially important in context of conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, and in Rwanda, which were marked by the high prevalence of sexual and gender-based violence. International criminal law has also made some significant advancements regarding sexual violence committed during periods of conflict. In particular, successful pro…
Forcible Displacement Throughout the Ages
With recent UNHCR reports indicating the highest number of displaced persons worldwide since the conflicts in Yugoslavia and in Rwanda (currently reaching over 45 million people), it is hard to imagine a more suitable moment for a debate about the legal context of displacement. Protection from displacement is one of the key contemporary challenges facing international law. As modern history has often shown, displacement is particularly closely li…

The Law of International Human Rights Protection
The concept of international human rights protection was not really present on the global agenda until the aftermath of the tragic events of the Second World War. Beginning from the adoption of the ground-breaking UDHR48, through over 60 years, the field of international human rights protection saw significant developments as well as challenges in a rapidly changing world. Most recently, the catastrophic experiences of modern armed conflicts, suc…
