4.9/5 (22682 ratings)

Description:The Dinah Project was established to ensure recognition and justice for the victims and survivors of the monstrous attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists and their allies on October 7, 2023. This attack included widespread heinous acts of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV), all aimed at a total dehumanization of Israelis and Israeli society.Our work is based on a simple yet powerful premise:justice can and must be achieved, whether through criminal prosecutions, civil proceedings, or international tribunals.Once thought of as merely an inevitable part of war, international law now recognizes that CRSV is an intentional, strategic tool employed to dehumanize its direct victims and thus spread fear and degrade the group, collective, or nation. By attacking sexuality, one of the primary sources of life and a symbol of humanity’s existential continuity, CRSV sends a message of death and destruction to all.Indeed, CRSV poses complex legal and social questions that make prosecution especially difficult. On October 7, most victims were murdered; survivors and released captives may be too traumatized to come forward and testify against their abusers; and forensic evidence required for criminal convictions is difficult to obtain in crime scenes that remain war zones. This creates profound challenges for establishing accountability and achieving justice.To overcome these obstacles and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice, the Dinah Project has developed an innovative legal framework, while drawing from recognized and established legal doctrines, adaptation of well-accepted legal principles to mass-atrocity law.Two essential frameworks are introduced:* An evidentiary framework that organizes and categorizes all available information based on its reliability and source. This includes testimonies from survivors, eyewitnesses who saw or heard attacks in real-time, first responders, and visual evidence.* A legal framework that acknowledges the joint responsibility of those who p articipated in the attack and offers a tailor-made evidence model for CRSV.The significance of this report extends far beyond its legal import, with implications for survivors and the families of victims, societies and the international human rights community. Justice for these crimes is not merely about punishing perpetrators—it is about recognizing the profound harm inflicted upon individuals and communities, establishing historical truth, and preventing future atrocities by ensuring that such acts never again go unpunished.This report represents a call to action:to acknowledge the sexual violence that occurred on October 7 as crimes against humanity, to hold the perpetrators accountable, and to ensure that the tactical use of sexual violence by Hamas as a weapon of war receives the international condemnation and response it demands.This report was written over an extended period and is now being published approximately one and a half years following the October 7 attack. During the intervening period, a substantial portion of the hostages have been returned—horrifically, some were murdered or died in captivity. At the time of this report's publication, 50 of the hostages remain in Hamas custody in Gaza; most of these are thought not to be alive. We are not oblivious to what has happened, and is still happening, in Gaza since the attack of October 7. However, this report is concerned with an unequivocal message that stands independently and must stand independently: sexual violence during wartime cannot be acceptable, justifiable, or contingent upon context. This report constitutes a universal call to do everything possible to eradicate this horrific phenomenon.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
