Abstract
El Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos (TEDH), como máxima autoridad para
la garantía de los derechos humanos y libertades fundamentales en Europa, tiene como
finalidad específica la de garantizar el cumplimiento del Convenio Europeo de Protección de
los Derechos Humanos y Libertades Fundamentales (CEDH), firmado en Roma, el 4 de
noviembre de 1950. Si bien este texto, en sí, no contiene una regulación de específica
protección para los casos de violencia de género y otros tipos de violencia contra la mujer, la
casuística es perfectamente encuadrable en su contenido y, por ende, enjuiciable por este
Tribunal. Y ello, precisamente, por el encaje de este tipo de violencia en el artículo 3 del
CEDH, a cuyo tenor: “Nadie podrá ser sometido a tortura ni a penas o tratos inhumanos o
degradantes”. En este sentido se pronuncia la Sentencia Opuz vs. Turquía, de 9 de junio de
2009, que conlleva la condena, por primera vez en la historia del TEDH, de un Estado parte
por violencia doméstica y malos tratos.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), as the highest authority for the guarantee of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Europe, has the specific purpose of ensuring compliance with the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), signed in Rome on 4 November 1950. Although this text, in itself, does not contain a regulation of specific protection for cases of gender violence and other types of violence against women, the casuistry can be perfectly framed in its content and, therefore, prosecuted by this Court. This is precisely because this type of violence is covered by Article 3 of the ECHR, which states: "No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment". In this sense, the Opuz v. Turkey Judgment of 9 June 2009 is pronounced, which entails the condemnation, for the first time in the history of the ECtHR, of a state party for domestic violence and ill-treatment.
