- Description
- This book presents an analysis of the international law of human trafficking. Anne T. Gallagher calls on her direct experience working within the United Nations to chart the development of new international laws on this issue. She links these rules to the international law of state responsibility as well as key norms of international human rights law, transnational criminal law, refugee law, and international criminal law, in the process identifying and explaining the major legal obligations of states with respect to preventing trafficking, protecting and supporting victims, and prosecuting perpetrators.

- Description
- While gender has become a cornerstone of the current human rights framework on violence against women (VAW), a new theoretical concept has been becoming increasingly visible: intersectionality. This book clarifies three main aspects of the incorporation of intersectionality: t identifies the theoretical and practical implications in relation to VAW it reveals to what extent intersectionality is incorporated in the current human rights framework on VAW: and it provides empirical evidence of the potential benefits and advantages for cases of VAW derived from the application of intersectionality.

- Description
- Addresses how sexual practices and identities are imagined and regulated through development discourses and within institutions of global governance, such as the World Bank. The argument is made that the so called development industry plays a central role in constructing people’s sexual lives, access to citizenship, and struggles for livelihood. Despite its insistence on viewing sexuality as basically outside the realm of economic modernization and anti-poverty programs, the authors argue that there is a heterosexual bias.

- Description
- This volume is a commentary on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and its Optional Protocol. The Convention is a key international human rights instrument and the only one exclusively addressed to women. It has been described as the United Nations' 'landmark treaty in the struggle for women's rights'. The Commentary describes the application of the Convention through the work of its monitoring body, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. It comprises detailed analyses of the Preamble and each article of the Convention and of the Optional Protocol. It also includes a separate chapter on the cross-cutting substantive issue of violence against women. The sources relied on are the treaty language and the general recommendations, concluding observations and case law under the Optional Protocol, through which the Committee has interpreted and applied the Convention. Each chapter is self-contained but the Commentary is conceived of as an integral whole. The book also includes an Introduction which provides an overview of the Convention and its embedding in the international law of human rights.

- Description
- In the mid-1990s, when the United Nations adopted positions affirming a woman's right to be free from bodily harm and to control her own reproductive health, it was both a coup for the international women's rights movement and an instructive moment for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) seeking to influence UN decision making. .Prior to the UN General Assembly's 1993 Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Violence against Women and the 1994 decision by the UN's Conference on Population and Development to vault women's reproductive rights and health to the forefront of its global population growth management program, there was little consensus among governments as to what constituted violence against women and how much control a woman should have over reproduction. Jutta Joachim tells the story of how, in the years leading up to these decisions, women's organizations overcame the cultural opposition of many UN-member states to broadly define the two issues and ultimately cement women's rights as an international cause.

- Description
- In national criminal law, rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse by one person against another person without the other person's consent. When it becomes part of a widespread and systematic practice, rape - as well as sexual slavery - is recognized as a crime against humanity and a war crime. Rape is also recognized as an element of the crime of genocide when committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a targeted ethnic group. The book examines the case law of international criminal Tribunals and provides for a digest of cases related to this crime.
