Gender Jurisprudence Collections launched

The War Crimes Research Office and the Women and International Law Program at American University Washington College of Law announce the launch of Gender Jurisprudence Collections (GJC). GJC is an online database that allows researchers to search the jurisprudence of eleven international courts for documents containing information on the prosecutor of crimes involving sexual or gender-based violence.  According to the GJC website, the database “was conceived in response to requests by experts in the fields of gender and international criminal law, who noted that researching the treatment of sexual and gender-based violence by the various tribunals was unduly difficult because of the absence of a central database of materials related to the investigation and prosecution of such cases.” The GJC promises to fill this need for a centralized source for materials on sexual and gender-based prosecutions before international courts and tribunals.
