Remedies for War Crimes at the National Level

Catharine Alice Mackinnon

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

On the view that the most particular can be the most universal, I will contrast one experience of bringing human rights claims in a national forum with the experience to date in bringing the same violations and the same people under the same laws to the bar of an international forum. The people are Bosnian Muslim and Croat women survivors of the genocide carried out by Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. The violations are sexual atrocities. The laws are the international prohibitions against genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The two forums are federal district court in the United States and the International Tribunal on Crimes in Former Yugoslavia (ITY).
