Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper focuses on the impact of international human rights law on the adoption and the enforcement of national policies on violence against women. Specifically, the author examines to what degree governments implement the provisions of the CEDAW and the Beijing Platform for Action on violence against women in fifteen post-Soviet states (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan). Policy implementation is assessed along three sets of criteria: adoption of a separate law on domestic violence, establishment of government offices on violence against women, and implementation of several policy components (police training, judiciary training, government-sponsored shelters, government-sponsored awareness-raising campaigns, and cooperation with NGOs). The analysis reveals low government compliance with international treaties on violence against women: no government of the Post-Soviet countries has pursued comprehensive policy change and policy enforcement. But some states improved their practices of this policy over time with the help and involvement of international organizations, domestic non-governmental organizations, and intergovernmental collaborative projects between western and eastern European states.
