 The ICTY verdict thus conveyed a judgment that the Serbian perpetrators of mass rape, in addition to violating their individual victims and damaging the cultural and religious groups to which those victims belonged, also insulted and injured humanity as such. Debra Bergoffen (2012) points out that, in addition, the ICTY verdict created a new human right to sexual self-determination--a right grounded neither in the agency of an autonomous and inviolable subject (implicitly gendered male) nor in an assumed feminine weakness needing male protection, but rather in the dignity of a humanly shared vulnerability.
