| Title | ???Unless Blood Flows???: A Comparative Analysis of the Legal Response to Domestic Violence in Hungary and Australia in light of International Obligations |
| Summary | Domestic violence has only in recent years been recognized as an international concern violating fundamental human rights that states need to work towards protecting. For decades’ domestic violence was considered a ‘private’ issue that did not concern the state and an area from which a state should refrain from interfering. This thesis will analyze the extent to which the two jurisdictions, Hungary and Australia are complying with their international obligations, primarily, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The thesis finds that both States face limitations in meeting their obligations under International Law, and that the commitment of the Government of the relevant State is of fundamental importance and influence over the extent to which a State is able to comply with its obligations, and ultimately, eliminating violence against women. |
