ICC Case Could Make History with Gender Prosecution - Women’s Media Center

— a Malian political group organized to enforce and police strict Sharia Law. The people of Timbuktu were subjected to regulations on tobacco and alcohol use, dress codes, restrictions on music and celebrations, and religious freedom. Failure to comply was met with severe punishments.

The Al Hassan case marks the first time in which the underlying offense of rape may be successfully held to prove gender persecution. Whereas Bemba was charged with the failure to prevent and punish these acts — where the extent of his power to do so was ultimately the reason the conviction did not stand on appeal — Al Hassan is accused of directly enforcing the policy of sexual slavery. While novel, using the offense of rape to prove an additional crime against humanity is not unprecedented.
