Studying the crimes of which women are specifically victims in International Criminal Law is a very difficult task, due to the cruelty and the tolerance with which they are contemplated. In recent times, crimes of a sexual nature are a very cheap and highly effective instrument of war. In spite of this, the social mobilization at the end of the 20th century, due to the near immediate knowledge of the brutalities committed in armed conflict has given rise to more awareness of these behaviours and the rejection of impunity in relation to these crimes. While we are making advances with respect to their repression, the same thing cannot be said about their prevention and reparation, issues that are still unresolved matters.
