loading . . . Persecuting Queerness: Can gender-based persecution encompass non-heterosexual and non-conforming gender identities at the Rome Statute? This post will analyse the facts of the case and whether Gender-Based Persecution, especially through the concept of gender under the Rome Statute, can encompass non-heterosexual and non-conforming gender identities. Additionally, this post, with the aid of queer theory, will address that, at the trial and sentencing phases, the Trial Chamber will have to address LGBTQIA+ victims specifically. Finally, the post will argue that the âone size fits allâ clause must not invisibilise real and concrete queer victims of gender-based persecution. https://socialandlegalstudies.wordpress.com/2025/11/03/persecuting-queerness-rome-statute/
