WPS AND FEMINISM: POSITIVISM, MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS, AND REVOLUTIONARIES

Abstract

The women, peace, and security (WPS) agenda is considered by many a feminist international agenda. This note argues that the contrary. This note will attempt to argue that the WPS agenda may in fact undermine the global international law feminist movement as opposed to furthering it. The view in this article is that WPS agenda is in fact a human rights positive law carve out dressed as a feminist carve out.
