In the wake of mass violation of women and girls during the conflicts in Kosovo and Rwanda, rape and sexual violence were for the first time codified as distinct crimes under international law. How telling then, and how troubling, that our country's policy on military burials is at odds with international standards the United States worked to establish.

The article does not establish what international standards are for military burials of convicted rapists. (I doubt there are any.) Yet she goes ahead and uses it to bash the USA anyway.
