Summary:

This book by Sylvester Sammie examines the prosecution of high-level officials for sexual and gender-based crimes in international criminal law, specifically through the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Rwanda (ICTR), and the International Criminal Court (ICC). It explores the theoretical and practical challenges of linking such officials to crimes committed by subordinates, examining evidence and liability models. The text analyzes 100 cases, emphasizing the difficulty of proving high-level involvement despite substantial evidence of crimes. The book provides strategies for gathering evidence and applying liability theories effectively. Designed for legal scholars, practitioners, and those interested in international criminal law's intersection with human rights, it aims to enhance accountability and legal frameworks concerning sexual violence in conflict.
