The argument is based on the international law principle that, where a state fails to protect a vulnerable group of people from harm, whether perpetrated by the state or private actors, it has breached its obligations to protect against human rights violation. This book provides a comprehensive legal analysis for why a state should be accountable in international law for allowing women to suffer extreme forms of domestic violence and how this can help individual victims. It is irrelevant that the violence is perpetrated by individuals and not state actors such as soldiers or the police. The state's breach of its responsibility is in its failure to act effectively in domestic violence cases; and in its silent endorsement of the violence, it becomes complicit. The book seeks to reformulate academic and political debate on domestic violence and the responsibility of states under international law. It is based on empirical data combined with an honest assessment of whether or not domestic violence is recognised by the international community as a human rights violation."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aAbused women$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $aFamily violence$xLaw and legislation 606 $aVictims of family violence$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $2International human rights law 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAbused women$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aFamily violence$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aVictims of family violence$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a345.025553 700 $aMeyersfeld$b Bonita$01045327 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460017603321 996 $aDomestic violence and international law$92471537 997 $aUNINA
