This book offers a new perspective on international law, which was,
for centuries, male-dominant and gender-blind. However, this gender
blindness has led to many injustices, the failure to recognize
certain rights, and to impunity for serious crimes. The book
examines the development of gender perspectives in various branches
of international law, while also discussing and explaining certain
universal standards. However, particular attention is paid to the
European human rights system. Accordingly, the book provides
detailed explanations of the EU's external policies in relation to
sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Also, there is a
special focus on the relevant jurisprudence of the European Court
of Human Rights in relation to gender and sexual orientation,
female reproduction, and sexuality. The authors explain not only
the importance of an adequate legal framework for combating gender
inequality but also the detrimental effects of deeply rooted gender
stereotypes and prejudices. Subsequently, the development of
particular branches is presented, such as a gender-sensitive
approach to the prevention of war crimes, gender perspectives in
refugee law, and the evolution of gender-sensitive environmental
law. In addition, the problematic situation of discrimination in
the workplace is addressed from various perspectives. Many
discussions, especially among EU member states, are reserved for
the issue of women's participation in managerial boards, while the
growing awareness of gender equality in international trade
agreements represents another interesting topic. Lastly, the book
offers a historical perspective on the development of international
law in the interwar period, with a particular focus on the
situation in Yugoslavia. The book critically reconsiders the
dominant molds of legal knowledge and presents innovative
gender-sensitive and gender-competent insights on a variety of
issues in international law, in order to introduce readers to new
research topics relevant to gender equality and to stimulate the
development of an international legal and institutional framework
for achieving greater gender equality in practice. The collection
of essays presented here will be of interest to all those working
in the field of international law, as well as students and
academics looking to broaden and deepen their research on a range
of issues in international law from gender perspectives.
