Combating sexual violence against women post-conflict through ‘transformative’ reparations: problems and prospects

冲突后环境中的性暴力不成比例地由妇女经历。确定解决这一关键全球问题的创新办法是一项紧迫的任务。国际司法倡导者认为，赔偿是“改变”暴力背后的条件并防止其再次发生的一种工具。随着国际刑事法院和其他法庭开始设计和实施赔偿框架，现在是确定这一“转变”的基本要素的关键时刻。同样重要的是确定这些机构利用赔偿减少对妇女的性暴力的限度和潜力。

Sexual violence in post-conflict settings is disproportionately experienced by women. Identifying innovative approaches to address this critical global problem is an urgent task. International justice advocates have identified reparations as a tool to ‘transform’ the conditions underlying the violence and to prevent its recurrence. As the International Criminal Court and other tribunals begin to design and implement reparation frameworks, it is a crucial time to define the essential elements for this ‘transformation.’ Of equal importance is determining the limits and potential of these institutions to use reparations to reduce sexual violence against women.
