En torno al artículo 14 de la CEDHconcepto, jurisprudencia y nuevos desafíos de (y ante) el Consejo de Europa

Abstract

The Council of Europe, like other major International bodies, is aware that ‘the realisation of de iure and de facto equality between women and men is a key element in the prevention of violence against women’. This recognition has forced the Council to revise the classic antidiscrimination law, based on the juxtaposition of discrimination factors –sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinions, national or social origins, starting from the structural nature of the subordination of women as citizens using the primary focus of gender mainstreaming. This work analyses the development of certain European documents, such as the European Convention of Human Rights, The European Social Charter and the recently signed Convention of Istanbul, within the new framework of antisubordiscrimination law accepted by Europe. The article also refers to certain international Conventions and conferences that have had an influence on these developments.
