Chapter 11 in Women Reclaiming Sustainable Livelihoods, 2012, pp 162-179 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Ten years after the Resolution 1325 on ‘women, peace and security’ was approved by the UN Security Council, there are many disappointed voices evaluating how women are still not fully involved in peace processes. The group of ‘daughter resolutions’ (1820, 1888, 1889, 1960) have focused on the protection for women in post-conflict, mostly within the context of sexual violence with such landmarks as rape being recognized as a tactic of war and a threat to international security. Already classed as a war crime, resolution 1820 (2008) also names rape as a crime that shall not given amnesty in the post-conflict reconciliation process.
