Reproductive crimes in international law: Lessons from Cambodia

本项目旨在通过对柬埔寨红色高棉法庭的个案研究，严格审查国际社会对强迫怀孕和其他侵犯生殖权利罪行的反应。通过分析法庭文件和与法庭律师面谈，它希望查明起诉这些罪行的法律和实际障碍。它还力求首次全面叙述红色高棉时代的生殖犯罪，并将其提供给一个公共数据库，以阐明柬埔寨历史上这一基本上被忽视的方面。其他预期成果包括制定在国际法院起诉生殖犯罪的新战略，从而促进全球推动性别正义。

This project aims to critically examine the international community’s response to forced pregnancy and other crimes that violate reproductive rights, through a case study of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Cambodia. By analysing court documents and interviewing Tribunal lawyers, it expects to identify legal and practical barriers to prosecuting these crimes. It also seeks to provide the first comprehensive account of Khmer Rouge era reproductive crimes, to be made available on a public database that will shed light on this largely overlooked aspect of Cambodian history. Other expected outcomes include formulating new strategies for prosecuting reproductive crimes in international courts, thus contributing to the global push for gender justice.
