THE SEXUAL ASSAULT OF WOMEN DURING ARMED CONFLICT OR CIVIL DISTURBANCE
Grant Niemann
Criminal Law Journal
Volume 30, Number 1, February 2006 p.8

The International Criminal Law applicable to the regulation and control of sexual offences committed against women during the course of armed conflict and civil disturbance has gone through a process of significant development during the last 15 years. Prior to the 1990s, the enforcement record of these crimes at an international level was unsatisfactory. Feminist thinking and the ability of women to influence the development of customary international humanitarian law applicable to these crimes has played an important part in this process. However, the creation of the international criminal tribunals has provided the mechanism by which these changes have occurred. In this article the reasons for these sexual assaults is considered and various explanations are offered. The horrific extent of this offending is canvassed. However, there is justification for a guarded but cautiously optimistic prediction that perhaps the record of enforcement of these crimes may at last have some possibility of improvement particularly if developments in the law and social conditions are permitted to continue.

Two justifications for terrorism: A moral legal response
Ben Saul
Alternative Law Journal
Volume 30, Number 5, October 2005

This article pauses to take seriously two specific claims of justification for terrorist violence: first, that some civilians are not ‘innocent’ and deserve to be killed; and second, that suicide bombing is excused by the defence of necessity. It unravels each of these claims and subjects them to the scrutiny of existing international legal principles (particularly international humanitarian law) and the moral framework underlying those principles. While there is a range of different justifications presented for terrorism, this article concludes that neither of these two specific claims is legally sustainable.
