Abstract
Este capítulo examina la situación de los derechos humanos de las mujeres y niñas en Afganistán bajo el régimen talibán, a partir de un análisis crítico de la construcción jurídica del concepto de “género” en el Derecho internacional y de la evolución del marco normativo de protección aplicable. Desde una perspectiva feminista, estudia el alcance de la Convención sobre la Eliminación de Todas las Formas de Discriminación contra la Mujer (CEDAW) y su interacción con categorías del Derecho penal internacional, en particular los crímenes de apartheid y persecución. Sobre esa base, argumenta la pertinencia de discutir la extensión del crimen de apartheid a la dimensión de género en el contexto de las deliberaciones contemporáneas sobre una Convención relativa a los crímenes de lesa humanidad. Finalmente, revisa vías de justiciabilidad y desarrollo jurisprudencial ante foros internacionales relevantes, incluyendo la Corte Internacional de Justicia y la Corte Penal Internacional, así como aproximaciones desde el Derecho de la Unión Europea.
This chapter analyzes the human rights situation of women and girls in Afghanistan under Taliban rule, through a critical assessment of how “gender” has been conceptually constructed in international law and how the international normative framework for women’s rights protection has evolved. From a feminist perspective, it examines the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and its interaction with international criminal law categories—particularly the crimes of apartheid and persecution. Building on this analysis, the chapter supports the need to consider extending the notion of apartheid to gender-based systems of domination within current discussions on a draft Convention on crimes against humanity. It then reviews accountability pathways and relevant international jurisprudential developments, including potential venues before the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, while also addressing perspectives emerging from EU law.
