Sažetak
The dominant form of gender-based violence is sexual violence against women. This violation of basic human rights has a significant impact on its victims. Women's rights campaigns and social media campaigns that followed them had extremely important role raising public awareness on sexual violence issue. Their engagement forced governments to take this problem seriously which resulted in toughened penalties for sexual violence. Rarely is sexual violence against women regulated as a distinguished or independent topic at the international (UN) and/or regional level. Rather, it is considered within a VAW term. Although different international instruments regulating sexual violence against women have been created further regulation was needed at relevant regional levels. The comprehensive Istanbul Convention was adopted in 2011 which in its 81 articles provides the current legal path for a more efficient prevention of gender- based violence. Relevant provisions in the Istanbul Convention as well as other international and regional standards, are often cited by the ECtHR in its rich case-law. This paper reviews D.J. v. Croatia and A. and B. versus Croatia cases which were brought before the ECtHR. Finally, this paper discusses balancing the confrontational right and victims´ rights in criminal proceedings.
