Proceeding contribution from Lord Judd (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on Violence Against Women.


Violence Against Women

The noble Baroness makes a profoundly important point. Would she agree that one of the grave implications of what she is talking about is that there is increasing evidence that violence against women is being used as a deliberate war weapon in conflict, as is rape? The trouble is that international law has not yet recognised this.
