| Title | Preventing and Combating Domestic Violence in Armenia: National and International Legal Framework |
| Summary | Domestic violence is the most common form of violence against women occurring in all the corners of the globe. In recent decades the international human rights bodies have been very demanding in combating domestic violence setting standards of state obligations in prevention of violence, persecution of perpetrators and protection of victims. This thesis is an analysis of the developing international standards in comparison with Armenia’s state practice of compliance with these standards. By focusing on the UN and the Council of Europe human rights system I claim that the Government of Armenia fails to comply with its obligations under international and regional human rights law. Based on comparative case analysis and examination of state policy this thesis concludes that the reason of incompliance is not only the lack of special national legislation and profound gender sensitive policies, but also the absence of genuine political will to combat domestic violence against women. |
