The situation in Cote d'Ivoire

My observations on the contexts relevant here do not start with the alleged crimes in Côte d’Ivoire but the temporalities of feminist rewriting as a critical practice. The first feminist rewritings in international law that marked the audiences concerned old judgments, such as the judgment in the Lotus case by the Permanent Court of Justice, decided in 1927. Another important one was the International Court of Justice’s decision on the Reservations to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, of 1955. At the time when the original decisions were made, not only the international judges, counsel, and legal experts active on the cases, but almost all scholars, experts, negotiators, and professors – the most visible part of the intellectual and professional community of international lawyers – were men.
