Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision in June 2022. This decision overturned the constitutional right to abortion in the US after 50 years of precedent following the US Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade in 1973. Human rights experts warned before the Dobbs decision ..read more

The proposed treaty has significant potential to advance justice for gender-based crimes. But in order to achieve a strong gender-just and survivor-centered treaty, diverse civil society organizations around the world must engage in the treaty development process.  While genocide and war crimes are codified in standalone conventions, there is no analogous individual international treaty that codifies and establishes duties on states to prevent ..read more

Se han cometido y enjuiciado crímenes de lesa humanidad en muchas partes del mundo, incluyendo en Camboya, Ruanda, Colombia, Yugoslavia y en el contexto de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Sin embargo, hasta el día de hoy, aún no existe un tratado internacional independiente que codifique los crímenes de lesa humanidad y establezca deberes de prevenirlos y castigarlos. En un marcado contraste, desde la década de 1940 han existido tratados para prevenir y castigar el genocidio y los crímenes de guerra. Esta brecha legal fomenta la impunidad para crímenes graves y crea una falsa jerarquía entre atroci ..read more
