State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 17e
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- [The mandate of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women has for nearly two decades observed and paid attention to the responsibility of the State in general and to the principle of due diligence in particular. In assessing State responsibility to act with due diligence to address violence against women, it was suggested by the first Special Rapporteur in 1999 that the following questions needed to be asked:] Is the criminal justice system sensitive to the issues of violence against women? In this regard, what is police practice? How many cases are investigated by the police? How are victims dealt with by the police? How many cases are prosecuted? What types of judgements are given in such cases? Are the health professionals who assist the prosecution sensitive to issues of violence against women?
