520 |a Sexual violence is a particular brand of evil that women have endured-more than men-during armed conflicts, through the ages.

What is needed is a more conscious determination to enforce existing laws. This book explores ways of doing just that; thereby shoring up international legal protection of women from sexual violence in armed conflicts.
