Summary
The fragmented protection of women’s rights in conflict presents analytical, as well as doctrinal and institutional, challenges. It is increasingly difficult to fully appreciate the role of international law in setting and enforcing rules and providing accountability and redress for violations of women’s rights in conflict. The challenge is primarily attributable to the concurrent and overlapping operation of IHL, ICL, IHRL and the UNSC.
