State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 23
- Paragraph text
- Many human rights instruments, whether legally binding or "soft law", include an interpretation and/or basic guiding elements in respect of the State responsibility to act with due diligence. Among others, these include: recognizing the problem; reviewing current policies to identify problem areas; modifying laws and policies to prevent harm or protect a right; punishing and/or rehabilitating the perpetrator; providing the victim with compensation and other remedial measures; reporting to an international body in respect of measures taken towards compliance; and, occasionally, monitoring cases and indicators to follow up and further modify policies. Reparation is a step in the process that is too often neglected, as confirmed in reports of the present mandate. Nevertheless, in general, a due diligence framework is clearly recognizable and coherent in both international and regional human rights instruments, with differing provisions that may impact the realization of the obligations of States parties.

Closing the gap in international human rights law: lessons from three regional human rights systems on legal standards and practices regarding violence against women 2015, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- Article 45 of the African Charter on Human and People's Rights indirectly allows for the appointment of special rapporteurs, and rule 23 of the rules of procedure of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights explicitly provides for the creation by the Commission of subsidiary mechanisms such as special rapporteurs. The mandate of the Special Rapporteur on Rights of Women in Africa was created in 1996 and the first mandate holder was appointed in 1999, from within the ranks of the Commission members. The office of the Special Rapporteur has faced serious challenges, since it does not receive an adequate budget from the Commission or support from the secretariat. Despite the challenges, the Special Rapporteur has carried out promotional visits to numerous countries, and the issue of violence against women is an area of focus.

Existing legal standards and practices regarding violence against women in three regional human rights systems and activities being undertaken by civil society regarding the normative gap in international human rights law 2015, para. 40
- Paragraph text
- During the negotiations on the Convention, it was decided to establish both a European Court of Human Rights and a European Commission of Human Rights. The Commission, which was in operation from 1953 to 1999, largely performed two functions, namely, shielding the Court from a possible overload of individual complaints and serving as a regional institution directly accessible to individuals. It filtered complaints through admissibility proceedings, mediated disputes through friendly settlement and carried out fact-finding activities and drew up reports in respect of disputes that had been declared admissible but were not settled. Pursuant to Protocol No. 11, the European Court of Human Rights took over the functions of the Commission.

The Statistical Commission agreed in March 2016 to use this framework, which includes a total of 230 indicators, as a practical starting point. Mindful that the set of indicators may lack sound methodologies and significant country coverage, the Expert Group intends to regularly update and refine the indicators as they evolve and new forms of technology will allow for better and more complete data collection.

- Moreover, the notion of gender-sensitive reparations has finally moved beyond the transitional justice discussions at State level and for the first time made an inroad into the international human rights jurisprudence. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has recently affirmed the need to craft gender-sensitive reparations in its groundbreaking decision against Mexico.

Closing the gap in international human rights law: lessons from three regional human rights systems on legal standards and practices regarding violence against women 2015, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- The absence of a judicial enforcement mechanism within the African human rights system led to over four decades of civil society advocacy. The creation of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights was provided for by the Protocol on the Statute of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights, and entails merging the African Court of Justice and the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. The preamble of the Protocol indicates that the objective of the Court is to secure the rights contained in the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa and any other legal instrument relevant to human rights that States have ratified. Thus the Protocol significantly expands the mandate of the Court beyond instruments found in the African human rights system. Unfortunately, only five States have ratified this Protocol, which requires 15 ratifications before the Court can come into existence. In the interim, the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights, which was established in 1998, continues to hear cases.

Closing the gap in international human rights law: lessons from three regional human rights systems on legal standards and practices regarding violence against women 2015, para. 52
- Paragraph text
- A mechanism was established in 2004 to follow up on the implementation of the Convention of Belém do Pará and address concerns related to non-compliance. It consists of two components: the Conference of States Parties and the Committee of Experts. The mechanism is mandated to provide for the institutionalization of the political intent of the States, to provide a consensus-based and independent system for the evaluation of progress in implementing the Convention, to promote the implementation of the Convention, and to establish a system of technical cooperation among the States parties. The follow-up process comprises multilateral evaluation and follow-up rounds. During the multilateral evaluation round, the Committee of Experts analyses the implementation of the Convention, issues recommendations based on questionnaires completed by the States parties and prepares a hemispheric report. During the follow-up round, the Committee distributes an additional questionnaire to the States parties on the implementation of its specific recommendations. To date 56 country reports, one follow-up report and two hemispheric reports have been published.

Reparations to women who have been subjected to violence 2010, para. 12
- Paragraph text
- The notion of a right to reparation is located within the framework of the law of remedies and includes two aspects: procedural and substantive. Procedurally, remedies are the processes by which arguable claims of wrongdoing are heard and decided by competent bodies, whether judicial or administrative. Substantively, remedies consist of the outcomes of the proceedings and, more broadly, the measures of redress granted to victims. The law of remedies can serve both individual and societal goals, the underlying purposes of which include corrective justice, deterrence, retribution and restorative justice. It is the element of corrective justice focusing on fairness to the victim and redress measures aimed at "repairing" the wrongdoing that victims experience which will be the focus of this report.

Reparations to women who have been subjected to violence 2010, para. 16
- Paragraph text
- The Basic Principles and Guidelines define the contours of State responsibility for providing reparation to victims for acts or omissions which can be attributed to the State. States are responsible for their failures to meet their international obligations even when substantive breaches originate in the conduct of private persons, as States have to exercise due diligence to eliminate, reduce and mitigate the incidence of private discrimination. In cases where a person or other entity is found liable for reparation to a victim, such party should provide reparation. The State should endeavour to establish national programmes for reparation and other assistance to victims in the event that the parties liable for the harm are unable or unwilling to meet their obligations. The State shall enforce domestic judgements for reparations against individuals or entities liable for the harm suffered and endeavour to enforce valid foreign legal judgements for reparations.

State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 16
- Paragraph text
- One of the debates within the context of due diligence is whether it is an obligation of conduct/means or an obligation of result. The general opinion is that it is one of conduct, however, failure of conduct will likely constitute failure of result. Thus it can be argued that it is the type of conduct which is important. Treaties that establish obligations to protect against rights violations often require States to take appropriate measures, without explicitly defining what measures are appropriate. Similarly, due diligence standards require States to exercise whatever diligence is due; they do not define such diligence.

State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 11
- Paragraph text
- As a general rule, State responsibility is based on acts or omissions committed either by State actors or by actors whose actions are attributable to the State. A long-standing exception to this rule is that a State may incur responsibility where there is a failure to exercise due diligence to prevent or respond to certain acts or omissions of non-State actors. In the seventeenth century, Grotius articulated principles that can be seen as a precursor to contemporary notions of State responsibility. The principle of patientia would hold a community or ruler responsible where there is knowledge of a crime committed by a subject, but there is a failure to prevent it in circumstances where it can and should be prevented. In the early twentieth century, Oppenheim advanced the theory of vicarious State liability, in which a State is responsible for acts of private individuals in its territory where it has failed to disown or disapprove of the impugned conduct. Triepel articulated a doctrine of State responsibility that would hold States responsible in circumstances where they fail to exercise due diligence.

State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 12
- Paragraph text
- The last 25 years has seen developments in legal rules governing State responsibility in general and due diligence in particular as regards the obligations of States to protect individuals within their territory or jurisdiction from human rights violations. The modern approach to State responsibility is set out in the International Law Commission draft articles on responsibility of States for internationally wrongful acts. Articles 2 and 12 broadly provide that a State is responsible for an act or omission attributable to it under international law where the conduct breaches an international obligation of that State and when an act of that State is not in conformity with what is required of it by that obligation, regardless of its origin or character. The standard of fault that applies, whether intent, negligence or the failure to exercise due diligence, depends on the applicable international legal rule. The commentary to the articles notes that the standard of due diligence is context specific and is dependent on the substantive international legal rule at issue.

- The Special Rapporteur also convened and/or participated in five regional consultations. The consultations gathered between 10 and 20 experts from within the region, and representatives of United Nations agencies were also invited to attend selected sessions. Participants were provided with a short submission prior to the meeting highlighting national approaches and challenges identified through a desk research process. The format of the consultations included a broad overview of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, and of the theme of the State responsibility to act with due diligence, a discussion on country case studies and, lastly, general discussions on the implementation of the due diligence standard in the participants' respective countries. Participants discussed legal, policy and institutional challenges at the national level in the application of the due diligence standard and the identification of good practices and lessons learned in different countries of the region.

In section 5 (h) of its resolution 60/251 of 2006, the Assembly specifically stated that the Council should, inter alia, work in close cooperation in the field of human rights with Governments, regional organizations, national human rights institutions and civil society. In its resolution 12/15, adopted in 2009, the Council reaffirmed the fact that regional arrangements (mechanisms) played an important role in promoting and protecting human rights and that they should reinforce universal human rights standards, as contained in international human rights instruments.

State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- One specific area in which the due diligence principle has been developed and applied to human rights violations is in the area of transnational corporations. In 2008, the Special Representative of the Secretary General on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises issued a report entitled "Protect, Respect and Remedy: a Framework for Business and Human Rights" (A/HRC/8/5). This Framework is focused on States' "duty to protect" and transnational corporations' "responsibility to respect". The duty to protect is a standard of conduct, not result, meaning that States are expected to take appropriate steps to prevent, investigate, punish and redress abuse by private actors (A/64/216, para. 7). In 2011, the Special Representative presented to the Human Rights Council the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (A/HRC/17/31, annex), which articulate foundational principles that clarify and expand on what is entailed by the State duty to protect and the corporate responsibility to respect. These Guiding Principles were endorsed by the Council in its resolution 17/4, and a Working Group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises was established to, inter alia, promote their effective and comprehensive dissemination and implementation. There are four elements to human rights due diligence concerning transnational corporations: (a) identification and assessment of actual or potential adverse human rights impacts; (b) appropriate actions being taken based on information from the assessment; (c) tracking the effectiveness of the response; and (d) effective communication with relevant stakeholders concerning the response. These four elements could serve as a useful assessment tool in the violence against women sphere, whereby States can examine whether their responses are meeting the due diligence standard of responsibility and, more importantly, whether they are also effective in practice.

The Convention specifies the type of data to be collected for dissemination, by the national coordinating body, to relevant monitoring bodies. Chapter IX of the Convention contains detailed provisions concerning the monitoring system necessary for the implementation of the Convention, both nationally and regionally. States parties cannot make reservations regarding the monitoring provisions. States parties are required to set up government bodies at regional, national and local levels to coordinate, implement, monitor and evaluate relevant policies and measures.

Possible explanations include the fact that the NGOs are more familiar with the United Nations system, as compared to the African system, or that they have not seen the impact of the work of the Commission, and therefore do not consider it an effective mechanism.
