Abstract

This article suggests a new interpretative framework for Article 27(2) of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits sexual violence against women in armed conflict. One specific aspect of this norm is particularly controversial: the notion of ‘honour’ has often been criticised as an obsolete concept linked to an outdated view of female morality. In the absence of a definition of the term, this article examines whether the gendered limitations of the norm can be overcome and the extent to which an evolutive interpretation of the concept is feasible. It argues that the concept of ‘honour’ can be treated as a generic term that is subject to evolutive interpretation, allowing for a renewed and gender-sensitive understanding to be developed, aligned with the concept of human dignity.

从女性道德到人的尊严:《第四项日内瓦公约》第 27(2)条对 "荣誉 "的演变解释
本文为《日内瓦第四公约》第 27(2)条提出了一个新的解释框架,该条禁止在武装冲突中对妇女实施性暴力。该准则的一个具体方面尤其具有争议性:"荣誉 "概念经常被批评为与过时的女性道德观相关的过时概念。在缺乏对这一术语的定义的情况下,本文探讨了这一准则的性别局限性是否可以克服,以及对这一概念的进化解释在多大程度上是可行的。文章认为,可以将 "荣誉 "概念作为一个通用术语,对其进行进化性解释,从而形成一种与人类尊严概念相一致的、对性别问题有敏感认识的新理解。
