FIDH marks 14-year fight to recognise gender-based crimes in Mali
Original: The Al Hassan Case: 14 years of mobilisation by the FIDH for the recognition of gender-based crimes in Mali
The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) is highlighting fourteen years of mobilisation around the Al Hassan case, a landmark effort to secure recognition of gender-based crimes committed in Mali. The case, brought before the International Criminal Court, concerns abuses attributed to Al Hassan, a leader linked to the occupation of Timbuktu, including forced marriages and sexual violence. Human rights groups say the proceedings matter for acknowledging victims of sexual and gender-based violence in the Sahel conflict.
Why now: The FIDH is drawing attention to the case's significance for international recognition of gender-based crimes as developments in the ICC proceedings draw renewed scrutiny.
