ABSTRACT
Atrocities committed against women are either too human to fit the notion of female or too female to fit the notion of human. In an international world order in which only states can violate human rights, most rape is left out. Women are violated sexually and reproductively every day in every country in the world. The notion that these acts violate women's human rights has been created by women, not by states or governments. In the genocide through war, mass rape is a tool, a tactic, a policy, a plan, a strategy, as well as a practice. The camps can be outdoor enclosures of barbed wire or buildings where people are held, beaten, and killed and where women, and sometimes men, are raped. Sometimes the women are also raped after they are killed. A war crimes tribunal to enforce accountability for mass genocidal rape is being prepared by the United Nations.
