Women in conflict prevention, conflict and post-conflict situations 2013, para. 78
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Although international tribunals have contributed to recognizing and prosecuting gender-based crimes, a number of challenges remain to ensuring women's access to justice and many procedural, institutional and social barriers continue to prevent them from participating in international justice processes. Passive acquiescence of past violence reinforces the culture of silence and stigmatization. Reconciliation processes such as truth and reconciliation commissions often provide women survivors with an opportunity to deal with their past in a safe setting and constitute official historical records. They should, however, never be used as a substitute for investigations into and prosecutions of perpetrators for human rights violations committed against women and girls.
