Towards a More Comprehensive Understanding
and Effective Proving of International Sex Crimes
is necessary to “incorporate empirical data that bring the perceptions and
voices of the perpetrators into the equation”, and to conceptualise the perpetrator at the level of an individual, group, and social category. According to the author, an analysis of the perpetrator’s motivations should pose
the following questions: How is the perpetrator of sexual violence in wartime different from the perpetrator of the same crimes in peace? How
does the perpetration of sexual violence in armed conflict pertain to other
forms of crimes in armed conflict, an what does this tell us about the perpetrator? How does masculinity and militarism intersect and form the
perpetrator identity?
In the final Chapter, which makes up more than 360 pages of the
present volume, Magali Maystre and Nicole Rangel develop an innovative
comprehensive digest of the jurisprudence of the ICTY, ICTR and SCSL
on international sex crimes. The digest is set out in International Sex
Crimes Charts that form a substantive knowledge base for those involved
in the analysis, investigation and prosecution of international sex crimes.
It is also a research and reference tool for other actors in the field. As the
first of its kind, the digest shows that there is great variety in the way that
international sex crimes have been charged and adjudicated by the tribunals and SCSL, in terms of legal classifications, modes of liability, and
features of the defendants and victims, such as gender and role played in
the armed conflict that surrounded the perpetrated crimes. As noted by the
authors, the digest provides opportunities for researchers to “distil some
of the lessons learned about investigating and prosecuting international
sex crimes before the ICTY, ICTR and SCSL, and to establish best practice guidelines for investigating and prosecuting international sex crimes”.
1.3. Further Inquiry
While the idea of prosecuting international sex crimes has been gradually
mainstreamed over time, these crimes are still widely considered as harder
to prove in comparison with other core international crimes. The constructive analyses undertaken by the authors of this anthology question the
myth that this is always the case, while acknowledging that in certain
contexts and under certain circumstances, it may be true. By introducing
the groundbreaking resource of International Sex Crimes Charts developed by authors Magali Maystre and Nicole Rangel, and by critically examining the potential of legal and evidentiary tools, such as statistical
methods and the ICC Means of Proof Digest, this anthology aims to
