Adequacy of the international legal framework on violence against women 2017, para. 16
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The committee of experts on the follow-up mechanism to the implementation of the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women considered that the creation of a protocol should be supported, as a supplementary instrument to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, because it would strengthen the work already done by the Committee and promote the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women, without weakening the implementation of either treaty. Approval of the protocol would strengthen the work done by international and regional women’s human rights mechanisms.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences
