New blogpost: Do queer lives matter in international criminal justice? Queer ghosts and the ICTY

International criminal justice involves stories of war and violence. These stories establish survivors, perpetrators, and scenes of trauma, offering representations of embodied experiences of violation. All bodies are subject to violence, but not all bodies are seen – or heard – in international criminal justice. In this article, I argue that queer bodies – that is, those with non-normative sexual and gender practices and identities, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people – are largely missing from international criminal justice discourses.

This article was named the winner of the 2022 Enloe Award.
