Sažetak
The paper analyses the most signifi cant judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, which have established standards in the domain of combating domestic violence and the protection of its victims. Special attention is given to judgments against Croatia in cases of domestic violence (Tomašić and Others v. Croatia; A. v. Croatia; M. and M. v. Croatia; and Ž. B. v. Croatia) and the measures taken to correct the omissions addressed by the European Court. The case law of the European Court was also an incentive for the adoption of the Istanbul Convention, the fi rst comprehensive European document combating violence against women and domestic violence, which is discussed in the final part of the paper.
The conclusion raises the issue of Croatia’s failure to provide all conditions for the implementation of the adopted regulation on the protection of victims of domestic violence. In addition, the case law of the European Court, as well as numerous discussions related to the ratification of the Istanbul Convention, prove the still existing need for systematic educational training of police and judicial staff in Croatia, as well as for the development and strengthening of social awareness regarding the severity of domestic violence and the need for the protection of its victims.
