Women and Rape in Ethnic Conflict and War

In 1992, a world conference urging the establishment of an international criminal tribunal was held in Sicily, Italy, sponsored by the Association Internationale de Droit Penal (AIDP), the International Institute of Higher Studies in Criminal Sciences (ISISC), the United Nations, and other groups. The years since 1992 have seen the birth of a United Nations War Crimes Tribunal, one of the most significant events of our century.
