An Assessment of international Human Rights Violations and Gender Based Violence Committed During the Liberian Civil War (PDF)

Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: A, Near East University (Faculty of Law), language: English, abstract: Ethnographic research on post-war humanitarian intervention in Liberia has helped us to understand how international interventions especially in gender-based related violence and violation of human rights link debates on kinship, entitlement, private rights, and social responsibility. Liberian narratives, court cases, and efforts to change social norms and conduct about gender-based violence (GBV) in post-battle lifestyles are examined in this article, as well as the ongoing worldwide human rights discourse about GBV. Using a multi-faceted approach, our ethnography aims to show how the Liberian definition of "the GBV trouble," the goal of complicated GBV interventions, differs from the conception held by organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) tasked with imposing international mandates. We want to give readers a glimpse into the various discourses and power dialectics surrounding this issue.

The TRC's (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Liberia) response to its mid-mandate of investigating and determining responsibility for "egregious" domestic crimes, "gross" human rights violations, and "extreme" humanitarian law violations, as well as analyzing the underlying causes of Liberia's numerous episodes of state breakdown and violent conflicts, to recommend measures to ensure that reality, justice, and reconciliation are ensured, is represented in this work. 186 years of false impressions, inequality, poverty, oppression, and lethal struggle with long-lasting standards of fact, justice, and reconciliation are the goal of this work.
