I will demonstrate that women can be those who, despite huge suffering, will be able to preserve the unique culture of this minority during post-conflict situations. From an international law perspective, I will investigate the possibility that the crimes committed against the Yazidis are brought before the International Criminal Court, and I will recommend that a women s tribunal be established in order to give voice to the victims/survivors. I will demonstrate that the participation of women during the negotiations for peace in post-conflict situations is essential, and that the protection of intangible cultural heritage through women could be achieved learning the lesson from preceding successful experiences.  a12962074 (ISSN)
