HEMISPHERE ADOPTS FOLLOW-UP MECHANISM FOR IMPLEMENTION
OF TREATY TO ERADICATE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
October 26, 2004
The states parties to the Belém do Pará Convention today unanimously adopted a follow-up mechanism for implementation of the hemispheric treaty that is aimed at combating violence against women in the hemisphere.
OAS member states that have ratified the treaty gave the green light to the mechanism, under which a system would be established for technical cooperation for the exchange of information, experience and best practices to implement the Convention. The mechanism’s scope and procedures will be based on the principles of sovereignty, nonintervention, equality of states under the law and respect for each state party’s constitution and legal system. The intergovernmental mechanism is intended, among other things, to issue recommendations to states parties and follow up on their implementation.
“CIM devotes—and will continue to devote—priority attention to the issue of violence against women,” declared Commission President Yadira Henríquez, former Dominican Republic Secretary of State for Women’s Affairs. Describing the Convention of Belém do Pará as “the first and only treaty on the subject,” Henríquez noted this treaty enjoys one of the highest numbers of ratifying states.
