A conversation with Dr. Catherine O'Rourke of Ulster University School of Law in Northern Ireland, on her new book, "The Rights of Women in Armed Conflict Under International Law." We discuss how four distinct regimes, IHL, international criminal law, human rights law, and the UN Security Council, interact, in both theory and practice, in the protection of women's rights in armed conflict, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the various regimes, and whether the synergies and mutual support among the regimes outweigh the conflicts and gaps that they create in the legal protections for women in armed conflict. A tour de force. For more info on the episode and for links to the related material, visit http://jibjabpodcast.com
