    Abstract

    ‘I cannot even kill a chicken. If there is a person who says that a woman – a mother – killed, then I’ll confront that person’ (Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, cited in Landesman, 2002). These are the words of Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, who currently stands trial before the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), which has been established to prosecute crimes committed during the 1994 genocide. Together with her son, she is accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, and rape. Nyiramasuhuko is the first women to be tried by the ICTR.
