“…Although there is an absence of data on the gender composition of the ICTY, the ICTR and the ICC in their entirety, the percentage of female judges in the ICTY until 2004 was never higher than 24 percent; sometimes it was even as low as 12.5 percent. 221 In the case of the ICTR, only 24 per cent of judges generally were female although at times, it did climb to 40 per cent. 222 In both the ICTY and the ICTR, the role of female judges in pushing for the prosecution of such crimes is notable.…”

“…Academics across disciplines and (inter)national contexts have (in)directly examined special measures and the decisions, meanings, and practices involved in England and Wales (Smith, 2018); USA and Canada (Hoyano, 2001); Saudi Arabia (Alshammari, 2016); and the former Yugoslavia (Sharratt, 2016). Scholars have detailed contradictory and (un)intended effects of special measures for victims (Brookes‐Hay et al., 2018), juries (Ellison & Munro, 2014), intermediaries (Henderson, 2015), and lawyers and the vulnerable accused (Fairclough, 2019).…”

Courtrooms globally are being reshaped by (1) (legal) special measures, and (2) increasing voluntary sector involvement. We examine multisectoral efforts to change conditions under which vulnerable people give evidence in Scotland. Vulnerable complainers (in Scotland)/complainants and witnesses are now often shielded by screens and accompanied by volunteer witness supporters when testifying. These developments have important (geo)political implications. However, little scholarship examines the spatiality, materiality, and discursivity of the special measures themselves and/or the relationships between special measures, courts, and the voluntary sector. Addressing this gap, we fuse assemblage methodologies and appreciative inquiry, providing a novel methodological hybrid to underpin forthcoming research examining what constitutes these measures and their relationships with the court voluntary sector. Our “playful experimentation” increases the political momentum of assemblages and adds spatial, material, and discursive perspectives to narrative‐focused appreciative inquiry, to facilitate best evidence and organisational development. Our methodological hybrid increases interdisciplinary possibilities: for embodied legal geography, seeing law as enacted through the spatial, material, and discursive body of a volunteer; and for criminal justice voluntary sector studies, creating a more materially and spatially aware public criminology. This is relevant across interest groups, including those supporting (vulnerable) populations involved in criminal justice; evaluating court reforms; and doing research involving the representational, emotional, and affective body.

“…For example, in Sharratt's study with victim-survivors who testified before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the War Crimes Court (WCC) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 82 over 75% of the women claimed that the main reason for their participation was "because rape and sexual assault is a crime and needs to be punished." 83 In contrast, Nowrojee, who conducted research with victim-survivors who participated at the ICTR, comments that "punishment… [was] astonishingly the least articulate reasons for why Rwandan women wanted and valued ICTR prosecutions of rape." 84 From a legal point of view, punishment may be imposed for various reasons, including retribution, rehabilitation, deterrence and incapacitation.…”
