Le Viol - Crime de guerre en Bosnie

It’s been 10 years since the signing of the peace agreements which, in December 1995, put an end to three years of fight, massacres and tortures in Bosnia. But these ten years of peace did not assuage the suffering of thousands of woman who are today still impaired and haunted by the specter of war. Nor did these ten years allow them to forget the specific tortures they were subject to: rape and other sexual violence. Between 20,000 and 50,000 Bosnian women were raped during the war. A good number of them didn’t survive. There are invisible wounds that continue to wound hundreds of them ten years later, and which continue to affect their descendants and community, for years to come. In Bosnia today, they want to forget the war. And yet, how many unknown victims live today in the loneliness of their pain? How many women and young girls feel forgotten, abandoned by peace? Behind the Bosnia which today seems green and peaceful, lies the Bosnia that remains bullet-ridden. In 2001, rape was recognized as a war crime and a crime against humanity by the International Criminal Court for ex-Yugoslavia.
