| Summary: |
This articleintended to study the Akayesu case, judged by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, under a gender pers-pective, more specifically its pioneer decision in International Law to consider that rape can constitute genocide. The aim was to analyze the im-plications of this case to International Law and to the feminist theories of Law, and if those theories are appropriate to explain this phenomenon. The chosen method was to do a case study. This warrants a deeper study of the decision. The primary source used was the judgment, by the Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, of the Akayesu case. Besides this, it was made a bibliographic review not only about the CASE, but also about genocide. It was made, as well, a mapping of the opinions of feminist authors about the Akayesu case and about rape as genocide, in order to verify if the concepts used by those authors are suitable to explain this phenomenon. |
