在刑事法庭作证的证人的证词为了解与冲突有关的性暴力的现场经历提供了重要的见解。证人的证词突出了陷入武装冲突局势的个人的复杂现实和日常生活。证人提供的证据可以提供有关战时暴力的生活经历的重要见解，并揭示受害者为科普、生存和抵抗战争的暴力和胁迫环境而采取的看似平凡的战略和战术。这篇文章突出了与冲突有关的性暴力证人的证词作为非常重要的知识来源的日常经验的冲突。它提出了一种自下而上的混合方法，以确定和分析那些经历过与冲突有关的性暴力的人的经历，同时利用证人证词的机会和挑战。我们的方法动摇了和平与冲突研究中“日常”的现有概念，将其作为暴力，正义和建设和平的叙述和实践的同义词，这些叙述和实践是私人的，非正式的，基本上是隐藏的。理解证人证词需要将日常生活概念化为正式和非正式做法的混合体，通过精英和外行知识都可以获得，并在公共和私人（例如编辑）来源中记录。它需要挑战经常被用来理解冲突与和平的想当然的二分法。
The testimonies of witnesses who testify before criminal courts provide crucial insights into the situated experience of conflict-related sexual violence. Witness testimonies highlight the complex realities and everyday lives of individuals caught up in situations of armed conflict. The evidence presented by witnesses can provide vital insights into lived experiences of wartime violence, and reveal the seemingly mundane strategies and tactics adopted by victims to cope with, survive and resist the violent and coercive circumstances of war. This article foregrounds conflict-related sexual violence witness testimonies as highly significant sources of knowledge of everyday experiences of conflict. It sets out a bottom-up, mixed-method approach for identifying and analysing the experiential accounts of those who lived through conflict-related sexual violence, while engaging with the opportunities and challenges of using witness testimony. Our approach unsettles existing notions of ‘the everyday’ in Peace & Conflict Studies as a synonym for narratives and practices of violence, justice and peacebuilding that are private, informal and largely hidden from view. Understanding witness testimonies requires conceptualising the everyday as an amalgam of formal and informal practices, as accessible through both elite and lay knowledges and as documented in both public and private (e.g. redacted) sources. It requires challenging taken-for-granted dichotomies that are frequently invoked to understand conflict and peace.
