Abstract: 

While the international community has yet to adequately depoliticize its responses to warfare and genocide around the world, it is beginning to acknowledge that these crises involve crimes against humanity that are genderspecific, and that such crimes deserve equal status in international tribunals with other violent crimes. Rape during wartime is finally on the international agenda, and the genocide in Rwanda is among the first cases in which genocidal rape has been recognized as a tool of war and, thus, a crime against humanity worthy of punishment and other sanctions in its own right.
