When: 1:00 pm, Saturday, December 1, 2007
Where: Room, 1.29, UConn Stamford Campus
Questions? sponsored by Prof. Eugene Kogan at eugene.kogan “at” uconn.edu
Her lecture will address two major issues. First, she will present gendered approaches to International Relations and why the feminist critique came relatively late to the discipline. Second, she will discuss international human rights law’s protection of women from violations during wartime and peacetime. Specifically, she will look at how international law’s treatment of rape during war evolved in response to the wars in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and how these rulings were incorporated into the ICC. Ms. Friedman will conclude with an analysis of how international law has progressed in protecting women’s human rights during wartime and peacetime and what obstacles remain.
