| Summary: | The paper presents an analyses of engagement of the United Nations in Serbia
in the field of the prevention and establishment of protection system for
women survivors of violence in family and in intimate partner relationships.
The scientific objective is to assess the contribution of the UN
interventions in this field in Serbia, while the applicative objective is to
use the results of the analysis in the planning of State’s interventions for
the effective implementation of the Istanbul convention based upon lessons
learnt from the UN interventions in this field. The subject of the paper is
the analysis of the approach UN in Serbia has adopted over the past decade in
establishment of the institutional response to violence against women, as
well as the UN’s contribution to setting horizontal and vertical
institutional exchange mechanisms among different sectors with mandate to
provide services to survivors/ victims, specifically multi-sectoral
co-operation model for protection of victims and support to setting
institutional basis for the recognition of specialist support services for
women survivors of violence. Both aspects are framed within the obligations
deriving from the Istanbul convention with the aim to observe the correlation
between the UN’s approach and the requirements of this international treaty. |
