Gender-Based Violence - CEJIL 2010
____________________________
This compilation of international
standards provides a solid jurisprudential research body and it presents a
wider panorama of women’s reality in very different contexts revealing the
indisputable persistence of gender-based violence in the world, in spite of the
advances in the normative field. The selected cases are some of the most
paradigmatic ones among those which, to date, have motivated some type of
response from human rights protection systems (Inter-American Comission and
Inter-American Court of Human Rights; European Court, CEDAW and the some of the
International Tribunals)
