Adequacy of the international legal framework on violence against women 2017, para. 18
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The group of experts of the Council of Europe on action against violence against women and domestic violence stressed that the current international political climate and economic situation were not conducive to the drafting of an additional instrument on women’s rights, and that creating such an instrument would pose a foreseeable risk of falling behind the existing standards established by the Committee and its general recommendation No. 19, let alone more advanced standards set out in the Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. It believed that the introduction of another instrument at the current stage, albeit at the global level, would be premature and pose a challenge to the implementation of existing norms and standards. Priority should be accorded to ensuring the full implementation of the treaties and other instruments that already existed, rather than creating new standards.
