Abstract:

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>No processo de libertação da mulher questiona-se o potencial emancipador do direito. A crença das feministas liberais na assimilação da mulher pelo direito deu lugar ao desencanto das feministas culturais na igualdade formal e à afirmação da diferença. Com as feministas radicais desenhou-se a crítica ao direito como status quo, que as feministas pós-modernas levaram mais adiante afirmando que o direito é causa e produto da desigualdade e a necessidade de um novo paradigma no direito. Os métodos jurídicos feministas questionam os métodos jur

This study looks into the ways in which official customary law addresses succession complexities and legitimacy in woman-to-woman marriages.

Traditionally Bangladeshi women were not expected to work outside their homes, except in cases of dire necessity.

Castilian law developed during the Reconquest of Spain. Women received certain legal rights to persuade them to move to the villages on the expanding frontier.

As Spain discovered, explored, and colonized the New World, Castilian law spread. The Recopilacidn de Los Leyes de Las Indias complied the laws for all the colonies.

Abstract:

Law's representation of women has long been a source of debate among feminists. In this thesis, I engage with this debate on a number of different levels specifically in the context of battered women who kill. Although three defences are commonly canvassed, self defence, provocation and diminished responsibility, I limit my proposal for reform to the defence of provocation. My particular proposal involves looking at the possibility of combining expert testimony on the battered woman syndrome with the substantive elements ofthat defence in Britain. In part one I begin by setting the defence of

In this thesis the author explores the role of women as participants in the Rwandan genocide.

The author then draws from empirical research conducted both with female genocide suspects in the Rwandan prisons and with persons working in the Rwandan criminal justice system to reveal that popular understandings of 'participation' in the genocide do not always equate with formal legal meanings. She also considers questions of power and women's motivations

Abstract:

Treaties and international organizations work together to create a global environment that protects the rights of a person and actively promotes the well-being of society. However, they do not necessarily guarantee the rights of everyone. Since women are not explicitly named in human rights documents, they are often not granted equal human rights. Therefore, it takes more than just international legal instruments to guarantee women's rights as human rights.

The ‘principle of distinction’ is core to international humanitarian law, regulating who can and cannot be targeted in armed conflict. It states that combatants and those civilians ‘directly participating’ in hostilities may be targeted in attack, while non-combatants may not be. The law defines what it means to be a combatant and a civilian, and sets out what behaviour constitutes direct participation. The principle of distinction purports to be gender-neutral.
