Feminist Engagement with International Criminal Law: Norm Transfer, Complementarity, Rape and Consent: Studies in International Law

Autor Eithne Dowds
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 iul 2021
This work introduces and further develops the feminist strategy of 'norm transfer': the proposal that feminist informed standards created at the level of international criminal law make their way into domestic contexts. Situating this strategy within the complementarity regime of the International Criminal Court (ICC), it is argued that there is an opportunity for dialogue and debate around the contested aspects of international norms as opposed to uncritical acceptance. The book uses the crime of rape as a case study and offers a new perspective on one of the most contentious debates within international and domestic criminal legal feminism: the relationship between consent and coercion in the definition of rape. In analysing the ICC definition of rape, it is argued that the omission of consent as an explicit element is flawed. Arguing that the definition is in need of revision to explicitly include a context-sensitive notion of consent, the book goes further, setting out draft legislative amendments to the ICC 'Elements of Crimes' definition of rape and its Rules of Procedure and Evidence. Turning its attention to the domestic landscape, the book drafts amendments to the United Kingdom (UK) Sexual Offences Act 2003 and to the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999: thereby showing how the revised version of the ICC definition can be applied in context of the UK.

Recenzii

Dowds's work is timely, original, and contributes to the existing scholarship in different ways. It is the first critical legal analysis to underline the notion of 'norm transfer' in the context of the international and domestic definition of rape, focusing on consent as an element of this crime and the potential interchangeable impact between these legislations on this matter. Moreover, it advances the typology of the harm and wrong of wartime rape, particularly the conceptualization of rape as a violation of sexual autonomy.
With this book, Dowds does a major service to feminist activists and scholars struggling for greater accountability for rape ... Dowds' search for the underlying or core wrong of rape as a way to insist on a continuum between war rape and peacetime rape is admirable.
