Meanwhile, the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted last week to pass two resolutions: one calling for support of the creation of an international war crimes tribunal to prosecute those involved in Syria, and the other calling the crimes
perpetrated by ISIS
against Christians and other minorities there «war crimes,» «crimes
against humanity,» and «genocide.»
Further, rape in genocide must be understood to be what Andrea Dworkin coined as «gynocide;» the destruction of women as women, as a group or as members of the group.86 MacKinnon urges that grounds like ethnicity and sex be joined so that crimes
against humanity like suttee, FGM, honor killings and rape
perpetrated in rape / death camps can be defined as what they really are: «destructive acts
against women «in part» on ethnic grounds combined with sex.»
