4. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (truth): Recognising sexual terrorism within the Women, Peace, and Security agenda.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Juridiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Juridiska fakultetenAbstract : This thesis will be an attempt to look beyond this relatively new conceptualisation of CRSV committed in the context of terrorism, so called ‘sexual terrorism’, to determine what are its implications for the development of the WPS agenda.
