The Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women
and Domestic Violence (also known as the Istanbul Convention) was
adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 7
April 2011. The Convention entered into force on 1 August 2014 and
has currently been ratified by 22 states. This Convention
constitutes a crucial development as regards the movement to combat
gender-based violence, as it sets new legally binding standards in
this area. This book provides a detailed analysis of the Convention
and its potential to make an impact in relation to the specific
issue of domestic violence. The book places the Istanbul Convention
in context with regard to developments relating to domestic
violence as a human rights issue. The background to the adoption of
the Convention is examined, and the text of this instrument is
analysed in detail. Comparative analysis is engaged in with
reference to the duties that have been placed on states by other
bodies such as the UN Committee on the Elimination of
Discrimination against Women and the European Court of Human
Rights. Comparisons are also drawn with the Inter-American
Convention on the Prevention, Punishment, and Eradication of
Violence against Women and with the relevant provisions of the
Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the
Rights of Women in Africa. An in-depth examination of the
advantages of the adoption of the Istanbul Convention by the
Council of Europe is provided along with a detailed analysis of the
challenges faced by the Convention. The book concludes with a
number of brief reflections in relation to the question of whether
the adoption of a UN convention on violence against women may be a
possible development, and the potential such an instrument holds,
in the context of domestic violence.
