Resum
[spa] Este Trabajo de Final de Máster examina la insuficiente persecución penal del matrimonio forzado en el Derecho penal internacional y su contribución a la invisibilización del crimen cuando es perpetrado por grupos armados no estatales durante conflictos armados.
Mediante una metodología cualitativa, de perspectiva feminista y sociojurídica, se combina el análisis jurídico doctrinal con perspectivas de género y socioculturales.
El estudio desarrolla, en primer lugar, un marco conceptual sobre el matrimonio forzado, los grupos armados no estatales, la violencia de género y el papel de las normas culturales, sociales y de género en contextos de conflicto. A continuación, analiza el tratamiento del matrimonio forzado en la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Especial para Sierra Leona y de la Corte Penal Internacional, con especial atención a los casos Ongwen, Al Hassan y Abd-Al-Rahman. Por último, aplica estas claves de análisis al caso de Sudán. El trabajo sostiene que la insuficiente persecución penal del matrimonio forzado no es únicamente resultado de una ambigüedad doctrinal, sino de un proceso acumulativo de invisibilización fáctica, jurídica y vinculada al tipo de actor perpetrador.
Concluye que, aunque el matrimonio forzado ha alcanzado un reconocimiento parcial en el Derecho penal internacional, su tratamiento sigue siendo inconsistente, especialmente cuando grupos armados no estatales complican la atribución de responsabilidad y la calificación jurídica.
[eng] This Master’s Thesis examines the under-prosecution of forced marriage in International criminal law and its contribution to the invisibilization of the crime when perpetrated by non-state armed groups during armed conflict. By using a qualitative feminist and socio-legal methodology, it combines doctrinal legal analysis with gender-based and socio-cultural perspectives. The study first develops a conceptual framework on forced marriage, non-state armed groups, gender-based violence and the role of cultural, social and gender norms in conflict. It then analyses the treatment of forced marriage in the jurisprudence of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and the International Criminal Court, with particular attention to the Ongwen, Al Hassan and Abd-Al-Rahman cases. Finally, it applies these insights to the case in Sudan. The Thesis argues that the under-prosecution of forced marriage is not merely a result of doctrinal ambiguity, but a cumulative process of factual, legal and actor-based invisibilization. It concludes that, although forced marriage has gained partial recognition within international criminal law, its treatment remains inconsistent, particularly where non-state armed actors’ complicate attribution and legal framing.
