from Part III - The Protection of At-Risk Groups and Individuals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2021
Women are entitled to the equal enjoyment and protection of all human rights, including the right to life. The duty to protect life requires that certain acts be criminalised for everyone under a State’s jurisdiction. These include all acts of gender-based violence directed against women, but especially those that endanger life. In a novel approach to oversight of treaty compliance, a group of experts on action against violence against women and domestic violence (GREVIO) was established under the Istanbul Convention to monitor its implementation. In addition to receiving and considering State reports, GREVIO may organise country visits to clarify possible non-compliance. The chapter also considers maternal health and the right to life.
