| Resumo: | Initially, rape was not considered a crime against humanity in the legal instruments of international criminal tribunals. The gravity of this act was not yet fully understood, and its legal treatment was primarily domestic. In other words, the possibility of this crime being committed with state acquiescence and directed against individuals because of their membership in a specific group—be it religious, ethnic, racial, political, or gender-based—was not yet analyzed. Recent history and the atrocious events of the present day have compelled international criminal tribunals to vigorously revise their concepts. In this article, I will briefly analyze this evolution, as well as its causes. |
