摘要

2015年逃离缅甸的妇女被困在安达曼海上数月，该地区各国关闭了登陆地点。除了饥饿的恐怖和船上不卫生的环境之外，他们还面临着性暴力的额外风险。这些妇女逃离缅甸的情况严重限制了她们的权利，包括性别暴力，这种情况正在国际法院被审判为种族灭绝，并在逃亡期间遭受了进一步的侵犯。通过对幸存者和那些帮助他们的人的采访，本文描述了这些妇女在海上的经历。它概述了各国未能适用国际法的习惯原则和有关的区域标准来保护这些妇女。从女性主义法律理论的角度探讨了这些失败的原因，并提出了改革建议，以确保未来在海上更好地保护妇女。

Rights Adrift: Sexual Violence Against Rohingya Women on the Andaman Sea

Women fleeing Myanmar in 2015 were trapped on the Andaman Sea for months when States in the region closed off places of disembarkation. Among the horrors of starvation and unsanitary conditions experienced on the boats, they faced additional risks of sexual violence. These women fled from a situation in Myanmar that severely curtailed their rights, including gender violence, which is being tried as genocide at the International Court of Justice, and were exposed to further violations while fleeing. Through interviews with survivors of the journey and those who assisted them, this article describes the experiences of these women at sea. It outlines the failure of States to apply customary principles of international law and related regional standards to protect these women. From a feminist legal theory perspective, it explores the reasons for these failures and recommends reforms to guarantee better protection at sea for women in the future.
