Summary
There is no feminist position per se on fragmentation. Rather, the extant literature – in its admittedly limited attention to the issue – suggests both opportunities and risks in the proliferation of overlapping legal and normative standards regulating women’s rights in conflict. The concern is that women’s rights are addressed through weak norms from overly-specialised institutions, with little meaningful enforcement.
