76th ILA Biennial Conference, Washington, D.C., USA, April 7-11, 2014
Note

This is the second report of the current Feminism and International Law Committee, established by the Executive Council in November 2010. Previous ILA Committees on Feminism and International Law had presented reports on Women’s Equality and Nationality in International Law (2000) and on Women and Migration (2002, 2004, 2006, 2008). The current Committee’s mandate, Economic Empowerment of Women: The Contribution of International Law,  was approved by the Executive Council in May 2011. The Committee presented an initial scoping report to the Sofia Conference in 2012, which explores the complexity of the umbrella topic and identifies sub-themes, one of which is Positive Obligations of States Parties in relation to Substantive Equality. The present report - presented to the Washington Conference - builds on the Committee’s mandate and on the initial scoping report.  Acknowledging the multi-faceted nature of the topic, as well as the indivisibility of rights, this report focuses on the sub-theme of Positive Obligations of States Parties in relation to Substantive Equality as it specifically relates to two substantive areas: Equal Remuneration and Equal Access to Economic Activities. It examines relevant positive obligations in international law as well as national practice with respect to these two substantive areas. The report aims to contribute to current debates on the realisation of women’s economic empowerment and to the work of the CEDAW Committee, in particular, by identifying instances of good practice  in the implementation of rights at national level. The Committee plans to further develop this work in its future reports.

Abstract [en]

The article displays how human rights law is extending into the sphere of domestic criminal law, as seen through the approach to human trafficking by the European Court of Human Rights. The Court is increasingly demanding the criminalisation of harmful acts to prevent harms and to protect potential victims. The content of domestic laws is also progressively subject to evaluation of the Court, in line with its development of placing positive obligations on states to protect individuals from harm perpetrated by private actors. Human trafficking is an example where the Court has not only found the crime to fall within the ambit of Article 4 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits slavery, forced labour and servitude, but through case law has concretised various positive obligations for states. These include adopting effective criminal laws that cover the acts included in human trafficking. Such laws must be clear and not open to various interpretations. If the law is similar to that of the Palermo Protocol, it is considered effective. However, it is indicated that other constructions may also reach the required level of effectiveness. It is submitted that the methodology of the Court in delineating state obligations is flawed in that the Court demands effective laws but does not clarify what ’effectiveness’ entails. The casuistic style of the Court negates its increasingly outspoken goal of developing the rules of the Convention for all Member States. The rather broad margin of appreciation of states in formulating domestic criminal laws conflicts with the demands of ’effectiveness’ in protection.
