SAINT-JAMES, Virginie. Convention 210 of the council of europe (2011) on the prevention and combat violence against women and domestic violence. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.1, pp. 124-131. ISSN 2177-093X.

On April 7, 2011, the Council of Europe adopted a Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence. It is a regional instrument for the protection of human rights. The text of the convention deploys a fairly traditional discourse on domestic violence that hardly defined, except for the phrase "within the family or domestic unit or between former and current spouses or partners, regardless of the offender share or have shared the same household as the victim." But the Convention is particularly notable in that it breaks with the European standards, forcing the states to be used with some accuracy the criminal law to address such violence, being necessary to the development of all possible forms of criminal jurisdiction of the United until the possibility of extradition.
