State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 14
Párrafo
Paragraph text
With regard to non-State actors, it has been argued that: "International human rights law requires a state to take measures - such as by legislation and administrative practices - to control, regulate, investigate and prosecute actions by non-state actors that violate the human rights of those within the territory of that state. These actions by non-state actors do not have to be attributed to the state, rather this responsibility is part of the state's obligation to exercise due diligence to protect the rights of all persons in a state's territory."
