Armed conflicts are regulated by international humanitarian law, which provisions seeks to humanize a complete chaotic situation in order to protect civilians. The regulations want to protect basic human rights, so as to prohibit practices that violate these rights. Despite the restrictions, there is a crime that is successfully going between all the regulations. This crime become a phenomenon, but also a successful weapon in every armed conflict. It is rape. This crime, which is categorized as a war crime, but also as crime against humanity, became a weapon that causes immeasurable suffering, pain and trauma that follows the victim for a lifetime. Institutions, both international and domestic condemn this crime, but still they didn't find the way how to stop it. There is still a fight against it. Rape marked every armed conflict, but the way it was conducted in Syria and Former Yugoslavia led the rape to the point, that in certain cases can be classified as part of a genocide act. Today we still don' t know the exact number of victims, however for those who we know, many of them do not enjoy the rights they are entitled to. Testimonies of victims show the horror of this crime and the heaviness that lasts for many years. The complexity of this crime requires the activation of all, it is a global problem which is an obstacle to the lasting peace. Untile the victims don't get the justice and the new victims of this crime are constantly growing, armed conflicts will last forever. International humanitarian law and Geneva Conventions are the base of the fight, but also the activities of United Nations and countries are the way to stop this crime. The central role in the prosecution of this crime has the International Criminal Court, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, as the creators of the modern and progressive case law that allowed or would allow bringing the perpetrators to justice and to victims will provide the long peace and normal life.
