On Thursday 10 December 2020 (Human Rights Day), the T.M.C. Asser Instituut, in cooperation with IMPACT: Center against Human Trafficking and Sexual Violence in Conflict, organised a supranational criminal law (SCL) lecture on ‘sexual terrorism’. The online lecture, which took place from 16:00 to 17:15 CET, explored the concept of ‘sexual terrorism’ – the use of human trafficking and conflict-related sexual violence as a tactic of terrorism – as well as the advantages and disadvantages of labelling and prosecuting human trafficking and conflict-related sexual violence as terrorism. Speakers included: Lauren Aarons (Amnesty International), Adejoké Babington-Ashaye (World Bank), Sofia Candeias (UN Team of Experts on Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict), Eefje de Volder (Impact), Anne-Marie de Brouwer (Impact), and Christophe Paulussen (T.M.C. Asser Instituut). The recordings of the meeting can be found here.
