Abstract

ABSTRACT:Focusing on conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), we posit that behavioral expectations in the form of norms and laws have a visible impact on government militaries. Using data from over 2,000 actor-incidents between 1989 and 2015, we find a robust negative relationship between physical integrity norms and CRSV. CRSV is often a gendered act, but its prevention is not. Our analysis suggests that CRSV prevention rests with the imperative to respect physical integrity rights. This inherent respect restrains government actors even when elements of formal military control are absent or only inconsistently enforced.

有原则的代理人？用人权法律和规范预防与冲突有关的性暴力

摘要：针对与冲突相关的性暴力（CRSV），我们认为规范和法律形式的行为期望对政府军队有着明显的影响。使用1989年至2015年期间2000多起演员事件的数据，我们发现身体完整性规范与CRSV之间存在显著的负相关关系。CRSV通常是一种性别行为，但其预防并非如此。我们的分析表明，CRSV的预防取决于尊重身体完整性权利的必要性。这种固有的尊重约束了政府行为体，即使在没有正式军事控制要素或只是执行不一致的情况下也是如此。
