  • "R4pe used as a War Weapon" Loredana Speranza| EP. 05, S.03| United Citizens of Europe

    Trigger Warning:

    This episode of the podcast discusses r4pe used as a war weapon. This topic might be triggering for some people.

    In this episode, we discussed with Loredana Speranza this topic which is often overlooked and minimized. Loredana decided to focus her MA thesis research on this issue as she found it was not talked about enough. Her case study was the Syrian conflict.

    One of the findings of her thesis is that International Courts have only recently recognized r4pe as a weapon of war.
