| Title | Taking Women Rights Seriously: International Standards to Protect Women Against Violence |
| Summary | This thesis will analyse violence against women under international human rights law through case studies in three international jurisdictions: the Inter-American System, the European Court and the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women of United Nations (CEDAW Committee). The purpose of this study, on the one hand, is to identify how international tribunals address gender–based violence and to identify the degree of State responsibility toward the problem. On the other hand, this thesis analyses the arguments and roles that different actors (e.g. tribunals, State parties, petitioners, and civil society) play in the cases before international tribunals. |
