In this book the author explains how the abstractness and lack of accurate description of gender-based crimes in the statutory laws of the international criminal tribunals and courts infringe the principle of fair labelling, lead to inconsistent verdicts and punishments, and cause inadequate prosecution of these crimes. The book deals with gender-based crimes as a case study, within the legal principle and theoretical framework of fair labelling.
