Critical Judgments in Hostile Times
Nicole I’m a Munanjali and Birri Gubba woman, from Queensland, but I’ve been in Sydney for a long time. I had the great privilege of editing the Indigenous Legal Judgments book (Watson and Douglas 2021 ), a collection of sixteen judgments that have been reimagined from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. One of the goals of the project was to bring together a community of scholars who are interested in Indigenous legal issues. We’…
Reproductive violence against child soldiers
Children associated with armed forces or armed groups (‘child soldiers’) experience conflict in highly differentiated ways, including in their exposure to gender-based violence. Cognisant of that reality, this article seeks to enrich current understandings of gender-based violence against female child soldiers by focussing on one relatively under-examined type: reproductive violence against female child soldiers. It revisits relevant cases from t…
On Hope, Reform and Risk
In the past 25 years, the 1998 Rome Statute’s definition of ‘gender’ has been scrutinized in academic circles, in policies and practice of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and, more recently, in the United Nations headquarters in New York, where states have committed to negotiating a convention to prevent and punish crimes against humanity. However, these ‘gender’ conversations in The Hague and New York have moved in divergent directions. I…

A Legal Analysis of Genocide by “Imposing Measures Intended to Prevent Births
The crime of genocide by “imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group” has been recognized in international law since 1948, but is yet to be charged in any international court. An examination of this act of genocide is therefore long overdue. To that end, this article provides a detailed legal analysis of the crime and considers the implications for ongoing proceedings concerning Myanmar’s treatment of the Rohingya in the Intern…
Communicating Justice
This article explores Khmer-language media reporting of the final appeal judgment at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (Case 002/02). Media reports are interesting for two reasons. First, as a source of opinions expressed in Cambodia’s official language (Khmer), which often remain beyond purview of international observers. Second, as one of the few sources of information about the eccc available to the Cambodian public now that…
Historic feminist intervention at the International Criminal Court—the appeals hearing in Prosecutor v Dominic Ongwen
Australian academics formed part of a feminist collective contributing as amici curiae to the appeal stage of International Criminal Court case Prosecutor v Dominic Ongwen. This comment discusses the significance of these amici curiae interventions
Translating Gender Diversity In International Criminal Law
The day-to-day practice of international criminal law typically requires that concepts from diverse countries and cultures be communicated in certain languages, often including French and English, the working languages of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and most United Nations (UN) courts. This article explores one challenge associated with this multilingual legal process, namely, the challenge of describing gender identities, including no…
Gender and judging at the International Criminal Court
To date, analyses of gender justice at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have focused primarily on critiques of, and shifts within, the Office of the Prosecutor. This article takes a different approach by focusing on the ICC’s judiciary. We being by arguing that state parties can and should do more than electing a balance of male and female judges – they can also ensure gender-sensitivity on the Bench by supporting candidates with expertise …
Gender-based Persecution as a Crime Against Humanity
In 2019, in the case of Prosecutor v. Al Hassan, Prosecutor Bensouda sought confirmation of the first charge of gender-based persecution at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Given that no previous international tribunal had jurisdiction to prosecute persecution on ‘gender’ grounds, this was an important first step towards developing the jurisprudence on this crime. Meanwhile, the Rome Statute’s definition of ‘gender’ has been discussed and …
Seen and unseen
The most recent judgment of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), delivered in November 2018 and published in March 2019, provides rich scope for gender analysis. Some sexual and gender-based crimes are highly visible in this judgment, while others are obscured or overlooked. In the spotlight is the inhumane act of “forced marriage”, which, according to the judgment, was committed against both women and men. By contrast, in…
The Khmer Rouge Tribunal’s first reparation for gender-based crimes
The Khmer Rouge’s crimes of forced marriage and sexual violence have been commemorated in a dance production, entitled Pka Sla Krom Angkar. It is one of several artworks that were recognised in 2018 as “reparations” by the United Nations-backed Khmer Rouge Tribunal, known officially as the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). In this article, researchers from Australia and Cambodia reflect on the production’s significance from…
Lifting the Curtain
In the emerging literature on preliminary examinations, most scholars have focussed on issues that arise after a preliminary examination has been opened. Yet, there has been little analysis of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor’s decision to open a preliminary examination in the first place. Taking this gap in the literature as our starting point, and flagging an emerging debate in the ICC as to whether the ICC Statute envisages a …
Interpreting International Crimes from a ‘Female Perspective’
What would it mean for the International Criminal Court ( icc ) to interpret the crimes within its jurisdiction without “adverse distinction” on the grounds of gender? Would it simply mean recognising that these crimes may be committed against men, women, boys and girls; or would it require a deeper rethinking of, and perhaps a departure from, conventional interpretations of these crimes? This article explores this question, using the crime again…
The ICC’s First ‘Forced Pregnancy’ Case in Historical Perspective
Reproductive violence, as distinct from the related issue of sexual violence, is yet to be truly ‘surfaced’ in international criminal law. Yet, this kind of violence has long been a feature of war, and is repugnant to the values that international criminal law protects. The Ongwen case, which commenced trial in the International Criminal Court in December 2016, is a step forward in this regard. Not only is this the first case in any international…
Sexual Violence against Child Soldiers
In addition to participating in hostilities, girl soldiers are often raped, sexually enslaved and used as “bush wives” by their commanders and fellow soldiers. As this issue of sexual violence against girl soldiers has become increasingly visible in recent cases before the International Criminal Court (ICC) and Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL), attempts have been made to prosecute this conduct within the established framework of internationa…
Conflicting interpretations of 'sexual violence' in the International Criminal Court
The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which was adopted in 1998 and came into force in 2002, enumerates a broader range of sex crimes than any previous instrument of international criminal law. These include rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilisation and ‘any other form of sexual violence’ of a comparable gravity, as war crimes and crimes against humanity. In applying the new residu…

Stop Rape Now
Inspired by the themes of violence, masculinity and responsibility, this article investigates the visibility of male victims/survivors of conflict-related sexual violence in war. Despite the passing of UNSCR 1820 in 2008, the formulation of UN ACTION (United Nations Action Against Sexual Violence in Conflict), and the appointment of a United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General to lead policy and practice in this issue area, we…
