| dc.description.notes | "AI Index: ACT 77/049/2004"<br/ >"3 June 2004"<br/ >Part of a set of materials produced by Amnesty International to assist women’s rights’ advocates, this report describes the legal and quasi-legal responsibilities of states to implement international human rights standards in the domestic sphere and argues a failure to exercise due diligence in combating violence against women constitutes a breach of states’ obligations under international treaties and customary law. The various ways in which violence against women might be conceptualised as a violation of fundamental human rights are canvassed and the scope of a state’s responsibility to exercise due diligence is examined. Specific ways in which states might fulfil this responsibility – for example, through implementing changes to civil and criminal laws, improving access to justice and providing services to victims – are then discussed. Recommendations and principles laid down by United Nations General Assemblies and Committees in relation to the development of plans of action, preparation of statistics, public awareness and education are reviewed and the intersection of various forms of discrimination is considered. The report concludes by rebutting some of the most common state arguments for failing to exercise due diligence and ensure implementation of human rights standards, such as cultural difference and poverty. | en |
