On December 20, the Verkhovna Rada ratified the Istanbul Convention. The bill was approved by 259 deputies. Contested less than 8.

LIGA. Life explains what the Istanbul Convention is, why it is important for Ukraine, who speaks against it and what will happen after ratification.

What is the Istanbul Convention for the sake of Europe and the first international legislative act that conveys the protection of women's rights. Її tsіlі - work so that women are protected from all forms of violence and discrimination, fight for equality between women and people, expand politics and come in for the protection of all victims of violence and help them.

Istanbul Convention on criminal prosecution for violence against women. The price of sexual, psychological and physical violence, as well as re-examination, calcification of female genitalia and primus waters for a slubu, abortion and sterilization.

45 countries and the European Union signed this year's convention. In 2011, Ukraine came before it, but the Verkhovna Rada did not ratify the document. The next test bula in 2016 roci. Ale deputies zupinil understood " We also worked hard to prepare a warning for the convention, which would support the "

March 18, 2022 Volodymyr Zelenskyy urges the ratification of the Istanbul Convention, but with a final declaration. So the meta convention is the protection of women and the prevention of domestic violence, the protection of people and children.

Also, Ukraine does not see the provisions of the convention, as if goiters are called for changes in the Constitution, the Family Code and the laws of the institution, sim’s and adoption.

Why is it important.

Golovnya - patterns of domestic violence in Ukraine grow with skin fate. In 2020 roci zі 211 362 years - over 180 000 went into women, over 27 000 into people and over 2500 into children.

In 2021, 56% more people in Ukraine reported about domestic violence, lower in 2020, support MVS.

\! " Tse truth. Legislation of Ukraine is often inspired by the norms of the Istanbul Convention.

Prote dosі domestic violence pіdpadaє pіd two laws - administrative and criminal. For the first type of domestic violence, the krivdnik waives a fine of 10-20 non-compliance minimum incomes of the population, or 30-40 years of legal work, or up to 10 decibels of administrative arrest.

Repeated violation of the right to the fate of the rock - a fine of 20-40 non-compliance of minimum incomes of the population, or 40-60 years of the right work, or 15 dіb adminareshtu.

As a result, the fines and illegal robots did not start up falsehood, and violence became systematic, you could be threatened with 150-240 years of huge crimes, or arrest up to 6 months, or free will up to 5 years, or relief - up to 2 years.

On the contrary, the Istanbul Convention transfers only criminal liability for domestic violence.

Another important argument " Aje Istanbul Convention - part of the homeownership of the EU regarding the status of a candidate for Ukraine.

For the tribute of " All skeptics of the country, as if it was good luck to support the status of a candidate for Ukraine.

" That and zahalom for Western Europe is a marker of civilization, to which all candidate powers in the EU. Find new. Okrim Turechchini, yaka recently moved in the wake of the EU and denounced the convention, and Ukraine,” writes EP editor Sergiy Sidorenko.

Who and why are against the ratification of the Convention.

With an outer stone, a super little stone should be used to understand the Istanbul Convention and understand " This is the first international favor, as I know that people and women fight not only for status, but also for gender. "

In 2020, the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations decided that the people of Ukraine in the majority did not support the ratification of the Convention for the sake of Europe on the prevention of violence against women. For the sake of the Church, the representatives of the Church rallied to the petition of 2019 rock " Vaughn got the required 25,000 votes.

The reason for the categorical stance before the Istanbul Convention is " Behind the words For the sake of the church, do not harm the moral ambushes and family values \u200b\u200bof the Ukrainian society.

" Life clerk of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Blessed Sviatoslav Shevchuk.

The deacons of the hromada organizations spoke out against the ratification. GO "

Uryadova is encouraged by gender policy Kateryna Levchenko, in an interview for the "

" Vaughn does not propagate everyday changes to the types of family vodnosin or the configuration of the family. The power supply is based on national legislation and the Family Code,"

Another expansion of the myth - the Istanbul Convention protects only women. Prote at Statty 4 conventions designate that the victorious position transfers the protection of the rights of victims of violence, regardless of status, gender, age, sexual orientation, reconciliation, change and I will become healthy.

What did you give.

" It started like the fate of 2017, if they praised the Law " For example, the criminalization of such types of violence as re-investigation and sexual harassment was abandoned by the legislature,"

Moreover, in Ukraine there were no specialized services for the support of victims of sexual violence. After ratification, such centers become binding.

" And in the countries, they ratified and implemented the її provisions, so called Rape crisis center. Victims of violence are given social and medical assistance, as well as direct contact with law enforcement agencies. In order for individuals to help inquire, prepare for a statement about mischief and enforcement with law enforcement agencies,"

Basic principles of the convention:.

criminal reinvestigation of law enforcement officers;

Zakhist suffered;

fear of violence;

coordinated government policy against violence.

Behind the words of a lawyer, behind the remaining principle in Ukraine, there is a problem. Aje, through decentralization, a lot of decisions and functions were shifted from the central government to the government. As a result of the fight against violence on these equals, it is insufficiently coordinated. Also, according to the provisions of the convention, the Ukrainian government can ensure the coordination of policies on a greater level.

That is not safe " The hierarchy of law in Ukraine is advancing:.

Constitution.

International agreements.

National legislation.

That the Istanbul Convention may prevail over national legislation.

" So the convention is ratified, and then the court can look over the provisions and say that the stench is not acceptable to the Constitution of Ukraine," Such an agreement is small Bulgaria, because after that it did not complete the ratification.

On the other side, є positive news of Moldova, as in 2021 ratified the Istanbul Convention. For those who have denounced the penal provisions, the court found out that the convention is governed by the Constitution.
