Jessica Taylor Doctorate of Philosophy “Come and See What God Has Done”: Religious Violence and Sexual Violence in the Bosnian War, 1992-1995 by Jessica Taylor Master of Arts in Women’s Studies, University of Ottawa, 2010 Bachelor of Theology, Saint Paul University, 2009 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy In the Graduate Academic Unit of Interdisciplinary Studies Supervisor: Lisa Todd, Ph.D., Dept. of History Committee Member: Cathy Holtmann, Ph.D., Dept. of Sociology, Dir. of the Muriel McQueen Ferguson Center Examining Board: Jula Hughes, Ph.D., LL.B., Faculty of Law David Hofmann, Ph.D., Dept. of Sociology Suzanne Hindmarch, Ph.D., Dept. of Political Science External Examiner: Janet Jacobs, Ph.D., Dept. of Women and Gender Studies, Uni- versity of Colorado Boulder This dissertation is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK July 2017 © Jessica Taylor, 2017 Abstract During the Bosnian War (1992-1995), between 20,000 and 50,000 women, and an unknown number of men, were victims of systematic and strategic sexual violence, leading to the rapid evolution of international law and jurisprudence around sexual vio- lence in war. The lines of conflict in the former Yugoslavia were drawn across ethno- religious lines, leading to the use of religiously imbued rhetoric, symbols, and violence. Religious and sexual elements of violence can be mapped using mass graves, rape camps, destroyed religious buildings, and the bodies of the dead. Despite repeated dis- courses, witness statements, and images that illustrate elements of both religious vio- lence and sexual violence, there is very little literature about the Bosnian War that dis- cusses the impact religion has on sexual violence. This dissertation analyzes court rec- ords, archived oral history interviews, and the stories of survivors recorded by journal- ists, activists, and scholars to locate incidents where religious violence and sexual vio- lence intersected and impacted one another. I argue that, while religious violence and sexual violence are separate phenomena, they can operate together with a ‘miscible’ quality that compounds the suffering of victims. By analyzing the perpetration of such crimes in the 1990s, my research illustrates that religious markers worked within acts of sexual violence, producing important short-term and long-term impacts. Short-term im- pacts occurred within the incident of violence and included framing, identifying, (self) policing, and intensifying. Long-term impacts were consequences that went beyond the incident of violence and included normalizing sexualised violence, justifying sexual vio- lence, claiming bodies and territories through forced conversions and branding, and de- ii terring the return of refugees after the conflict. Exploring the relationship between reli- gious violence and sexual violence gives new insights to these highly intimate and inten- tional forms of violence, but also indicates the way parts of violence are remembered or buried, and the on-going limitations of local justice and international law. iii Acknowledgements This project is made possible and glued together by the love and support of so many people around the world!

    Gender and the Violence(s) of War and Armed Conflict EMERALD STUDIES IN CRIMINOLOGY, FEMINISM AND SOCIAL CHANGE Series Editors Sandra Walklate, School of Social Sciences, Monash University, Australia. Kate Fitz-Gibbon, School of Social Sciences at Monash University and Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre, Australia. Jude McCulloch, Monash University and Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre, Australia. JaneMaree Maher, Centre for Women’s Studies and Gender Research, Sociology, Monash University, Australia. Emerald Studies in Criminology, Feminism and Social Change offers a platform for innovative, engaged, and forward-looking feminist-informed work to explore the interconnections between social change and the capacity of criminology to grap- ple with the implications of such change. Social change, whether as a result of the movement of peoples, the impact of new technologies, the potential consequences of climate change, or more commonly identified features of changing societies, such as ageing populations, inter-genera- tional conflict, the changing nature of work, increasing awareness of the problem of gendered violence(s), and/or changing economic and political context, takes its toll across the globe in infinitely more nuanced and inter-connected ways than previously imagined. Each of these connections carry implications for what is understood as crime, the criminal, the victim of crime and the capacity of criminology as a disci- pline to make sense of these evolving interconnections. Feminist analysis, despite its contentious relationship with the discipline of criminology, has much to offer in strengthening the discipline to better understand the complexity of the world in the twenty-first century and to scan the horizon for emerging, possible or likely futures.

  • Justice for Survivors of Japan's Military Sexual Slavery System ______
    Japan: Still Waiting After 60 years: Justice for Survivors of Japan's Military Sexual Slavery System _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Still Waiting After 60 years: Justice for Survivors of Japan's Military Sexual Slavery System Introduction In war zones all over the world crimes of sexual violence have been and are committed against women. Women and girls "are exposed not only to the violence and devastation that accompany any war but also to forms of violence directed specifically at women on account of their gender."(1) For centuries, wartime rape was perceived as an inevitable consequence of war. Even today, in an era where global consciousness around human rights, specifically the rights of women, has risen, survivors of sexual violence are largely denied redress: there is widespread impunity for these crimes where perpetrators go unpunished and victims are denied any form of reparation. Sexual violence, including rape, is used as a weapon of war - it is used deliberately to demoralize and destroy the opposition and is used to provide ‘entertainment’ and ‘fuel’ for soldiers as part of the very machinery of war.(2) Perhaps the most compelling example of the crime of sexual slavery and the denial of justice to victims was the system of institutionalized sexual slavery used by the Japanese Imperial Army before and during World War II and subsequent denials of responsibility for the system by the Japanese government. The women forced into sexual servitude were euphemistically known as "comfort women".(3) Up to 200,000 "comfort women" were sexually enslaved by the Japanese Imperial Army from around 1932 to the end of World War II.

  • Sexual Violence and Armed Conflict: United Nations Response
    Women2000 Sexual Violence and Armed Conflict: United Nations Response Published to Promote the Goals of the Beijing Declaration and the Platform for Action April 1998 UNITED NATIONS Division for the Advancement of Women Department of Economic and Social Affairs Introduction Sexual violence during armed conflict is not a new phenomenon. It has existed for as long as there has been conflict. In her 1975 book Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape, Susan Brownmiller presented stark accounts of rape and other sexual atrocities that have been committed during armed conflict throughout history. While historically very few measures have been taken to address sexual violence against women committed during armed conflict, it is not true to say that there has always been complete silence about the issue. Belligerents have often capitalized upon the abuse of their women to garner sympathy and support for their side, and to strengthen their resolve against the enemy. Usually, the apparent concern for these women vanishes when the propaganda value of their suffering diminishes, and they are left without any prospect of redress. It is true to say that the international community has, for a long time, failed to demonstrate a clear desire to do something about the problem of sexual violence during armed conflict. The turning point came in the early 1990s as a result of sexual atrocities committed during the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, and it seems that finally, the issue has emerged as a serious agenda item of the international community. Many of the steps taken to address Towards the end of 1992, the sexual violence against women during world was stunned by reports of armed conflict have occurred within the sexual atrocities committed framework of the United Nations.

  • Kratka Povjesnica Srba Od Postanja Srpstva Do Danas
    Kratka povjesnica Srba od postanja srpstva do danas Napisao Sima Lukin Lazić (Vrač Pogađač) Izdanje piščevo ZAGREB ŠTAMPARIJA KARLA ALBREHTA 1894 Riječ dvije. Istorija je grčka riječ, a srpski se to kaže povjest ili povjesnica iliti pametarnica — sve je to jedno isto. Poslije čitanja, pisanja, računanja i očenaša, svakome čovjeku rodoljubu najpreče je znanje: povjesnica roda i naroda njegovog. Čovjek, koji ne zna, a neće da pozna povjesnicu svoga naroda, to je nesvjesno čeljade bez roda i imena, bez ljubavi i ponosa. Takvo čeljade liči na siroče nahodče sa ulice, koje ne zna: ni kako je ni otkuda je došlo na svijet, ni ko mu je bio otac, đed i prađed. Povjesnica narodna, dakle, uči se za to: da poznamo svoj rod i porjeklo svoje; da znamo, ko smo, čiji smo i otkale smo; da znamo, ko su i kakvi su nam bili naši preci, naši stari, pa ili da se ponosimo njima i da se ugledamo na njih, ili da se poučimo njihovom patnjom, pa da se čuvamo, pogrješaka njihovih. Prošlost je vodilja budućnosti svakome pametnom i razboritom čovjeku, Tako i narod, koji poznaje i ljubi svoju prošlost— svoju povjesnicu — pouzdano ide na susret budućnosti, jer će tako moći da izbjegne one pogrješke, sa kojih je patio u prošlosti. Kad znamo povjesnicu svoga naroda, i duhom smo jači, ne osjećamo se sirotni i samohrani, jer onda znamo, da imamo u svijetu još puno braće svoje, pa čisto osjećamo, kako nad nama vazda stražare veliki dusi slavnih nam predaka i čuvaju nas, da nam u srcu nikad ne ugasne sveti oganj rodoljublja, zajedničkog srodstva i ljubavi bratinjske.
