NATIONAL AND PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN IN THE FAMILY

Summary/Abstract: The reaction against domestic violence, and above all, violence against children at the national level, is reflected in the prevention, detection of individual cases of violence, providing immediate legal protection and an active role of the institutions of the system of education, healthcare, social welfare and judiciary. The first part of the paper is aimed at the legal system’s functioning that is reflected in the implementation of measures in each specific case where protection of children as victims of violence is necessary. The second part of the paper is devoted to international legal cooperation of states within the framework of various international organisations with a view of defining domestic violence as a violation of basic human rights to life and health. Starting from the universal nature of the problem of domestic violence in contemporary society, internationally adopted documents are binding on member states to undertake legal reforms, a series of protective measures, educational programmes and other forms of protection from violent behaviour. The weight and the volume of domestic violence have also made it the topic of private international legal regulations that have not so far observed the frequency and complexity of the issues in this domain.
