The German government has approved a draft law to prosecute sexual violence in conflict zones as a war crime and a crime against humanity. This measure would expand the existing war crimes definition to include sexual assault, sexual enslavement, and forced pregnancy termination. The law aims to uphold the rights of the victims and allow them to participate actively in the criminal trial as co-plaintiffs. The move was prompted by numerous accounts of sexual assault since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
