Abstract

The issue of combating domestic violence is one of the most important in today's conditions, both in Ukraine and throughout the world, because violence is recognized as violating human rights. In order to improve the situation and implement mechanisms for combating domestic violence at the international level, a system of international legal protection of the rights of persons, affected by this phenomenon has been created. The purpose of the work is to assess and study the provisions of international legal acts aimed at combating domestic violence. The research methodology is a complex of methods: historical, comparative-legal, descriptive, systemic-structural, dogmatic, sociological and modeling, induction and deduction, and philosophical method. As a result of the study, an analysis of the features of the emergence and development of international legal regulation in the field of combating domestic violence was carried out, in particular, the system and features of individual international acts aimed at regulating relevant relations are considered. Also, the criminal law rules regulating the fight against domestic violence were analyzed. Attention is drawn to the development and experience of the criminal-legal response to the investigated phenomenon in the international community and its transformation in modern conditions. The possible directions of the development of international legal regulation regarding the criminal legal response to domestic violence in Ukraine and the world have been determined.
