Documenting the experiences, achievements, challenges, and fundamental insights of the Office of the Prosecutor in prosecuting conflict-related sexual violence crimes at the ICTY, this volume analyses and recommends ways to overcome the obstacles faced in prioritizing, investigating and prosecuting conflict-related sexual violence crimes. In sum, this is a significant work and a unique record that provides a thorough elucidation of strategies executed by the OTP in investigating and prosecuting conflict-related sexual violence, committed during the 199s Yugoslav civil war and which contributed to the development of the international criminal jurisprudence. Although this book is mainly directed to national and international criminal justice actors, primarily investigators and prosecutors of conflict-related sexual violence, it is also an indispensable source for lawyers, judges, human rights activists and academics researching these crimes.
