Abstract/Index

Transitional justice as the promotion of human rights–an ambiguous protection for women’s rights. A false liberal universalism promoted as the norm by international institutions. An inability of liberal theorists to catch the structural character of women’s rights violations. A debate among feminist movements on the nature of women’s rights. Transitional justice as a legal mechanism–an obstacle for women to get justice. The centrality of the law and legal institutions restricting the potential for righting the wrongs of gendered-based sexual violence. The gender-blindness of international (criminal) law, preventing to see sexual and gender-based violence as structural inequalities. The genocide of Rwanda–the inability of transitional justice to correctly retribute women victims of sexual violence. The internationalist approach of the international criminal tribunal for Rwanda: a facade gender-sensitivity. The local approach of the Gacaca Courts: a mixed success.
