"Participant: Argentina, Signature: 8 Jan 1999, Approval(AA), Acceptance(A), Accession(a), Succession(d), Ratification: 8 Feb 2001" (2). Argentina remains a signatory to the Rome Statute, which acts as the primary piece of international law criminalizing the use of rape and trafficking as weapons of war. While Argentina does not have a specific ban on the use of rape/trafficking in their military criminal code, military members are held criminally responsible both under Argentinian domestic criminal code and the Rome Statute (NAC - CODER COMMENT).

There is no evidence that the Argentinian government facilitated or was accepting of the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war between the years 2020-2025. During that period, Argentina was not involved in an armed conflict. Rebel groups/armed insurgencies did not exist in Argentina during that period. (NAC - CODER COMMENT).

"The UFEM (Specialized Unit for Violence Against Women) intervened in 52% of the cases, and its actions contributed to six of them being brought to trial, three of which have already resulted in a sentence. The cases analyzed exhibit lengthy processing times relative to the complexity of the investigations. The average time to the first instance ruling was 5.3 years" (4). The presence of the Argentine Specialized Unit for Violence Against Women appears to indicate a desire from the Argentine government to discourage rape/assault and to encourage victims to report. However, this quote also acknowledges the structural difficulties (such as processing times) that present barriers to reporting (NAC - CODER...more

"The document (a report from the Argentine Specialized Prosecutor's Unit for Violence against Women (UFEM)) which PERFIL (an Argentine news outlet) obtained, indicates that the aggressors “ attempted to normalize harassment as common practice within the institution.” It also states that “threats were made against the victims , taking advantage of positions of power.” “The armed forces and federal security forces, historically structured as masculinized spaces , have recently undergone normative and organizational transformations aimed at incorporating a gender perspective and the entry of women into their functional structures,” states the UFEM report. However, it warns that within the forces “gender violence and in particular sexual violence (...) operates as...more
