This inquiry is carried out in three interrelated parts. First, it
explores the roots of ethnic conflict and analytically discusses
the mechanisms and motivations that led to genocidal rape, ethnic
cleansing and mass killings. The second part provides a critical
view of the ideology of wartime sexual violence, highlighting the
historical invisibility of this crime in which women are the major
targets. Finally, part three addresses the question of why the
international community, represented by United Nations peacekeeping
missions, was unable to prevent or to stop the atrocities. The
first part explores the roots of ethnic conflict in the former
Yugoslavia and Rwanda and analytically discusses the mechanisms and
motivations that led to genocidal rape, ethnic cleansing and mass
killings in these regions. It reveals and analyzes the dramatic and
overwhelming relationship between national extremism, mass
killings, and sexual violence in ethno-national conflicts. The
second part of this analysis establishes a framework for
understanding the nature and contours of sexual violence through
case-studies of systematic rape as an integral element of ethnic
conflict and genocide in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. It
provides a critical view of the ideology of wartime sexual violence
and wartime rape motivations as among the most destructive weapons
of war, highlighting the historical invisibility of this crime in
which women were, and still are, the major targets and most
vulnerable victims. Finally, part three of this volume discloses
the equivocal role of the international community in managing the
crisis.
