CARVALHO, Felipe Augusto Lopes. Multilevel Protection of Sexual Freedom: Crime of Rape in International Law and the Bemba Gombo Case. Anu. Mex. Der. Inter [online]. 2021, vol.21, pp.797-829.  Epub 21-Ene-2022. ISSN 1870-4654.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487872e.2021.21.15610.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze, in light of the multilevel human rights protection, the evolution of the treatment given by international criminal law to sex crimes, in particular to rape, since its genesis in the first documents of the modern law of war, the Hague conventions and the post-Second War tribunals, following the material and procedural contributions by the ad hoc International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, until the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Finally, the paper will examine the judgment of Jean Pierre Bemba Gombo, recently tried by the ICC, the contributions and setbacks of this case law to the development of international jurisprudence on the subject.

Palabras llave : sexual crimes; international criminal law; International Criminal Court; Bemba Gombo; justice.
