The purpose of this research is to analyse UN SC Resolution 2467 (2019)[6] and the subsequent Resolution 2493 (2019) from an international feminist law perspective in light of the women’s right to reproductive health, twenty years after the adoption of UN SC Resolution 1325 (2000). This article argues that international law might be the ultimate cause of violence against women’s health through resolutions adopted by a strictly inter-governmental ‘male’ body such as the UN SC that fails to appreciate the gender-based discrimination rooted in society – prior, during and after conflicts – and, by focusing on a notion of military rather than human security, misses the opportunity to address the violation of women’s right to sexual and reproductive health.

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyse UN SC Resolution 2467 (2019)[6] and the subsequent Resolution 2493 (2019) from an international feminist law perspective in light of the women’s right to reproductive health, twenty years after the adoption of UN SC Resolution 1325 (2000). This article argues that international law might be the ultimate cause of violence against women’s health through resolutions adopted by a strictly inter-governmental ‘male’ body such as the UN SC that fails to appreciate the gender-based discrimination rooted in society – prior, during and after conflicts – and, by focusing on a notion of military rather than human security, misses the opportunity to address the violation of women’s right to sexual and reproductive health.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
