This report discusses the due diligence
standard and how it can be applied to a
State's obligation to eliminate violence
against women. It also identifies another
fundamental principle connected to the
application of the due diligence standard,
that of non-discrimination, which implies
that states are required to use the same
level of commitment in relation to
prevention, investigation, punishment and
provision of remedies for violence against
women as they do with regards to other forms
of violence.
