Our expert contributes to the fight against domestic violence.
We are proud to share that Jeyhun Garajaev, Judge of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan and expert affiliated with our Association, participated in the Council of Europe event “Protection of victims of domestic violence: legal and social aspects” held in Baku on 19 April 2025.
This high-level discussion brought together judges and lawyers to explore the challenges faced by victims, the importance of recognising psychological abuse, and the role of legal professionals in ensuring justice and protection.
Judge Garajaev delivered a powerful contribution, analysing the constitutional foundations of the Law on Preventing Domestic Violence and highlighting relevant jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. His intervention underlined a crucial point: effective investigations and zero tolerance are not optional — they are obligations under human rights law.
As an Association committed to the advancement of social rights, rule of law, and local democracy, we stand firmly behind initiatives that protect and empower victims.
We thank the Council of Europe and the Bar Association of Azerbaijan for leading this important dialogue, and we are proud to contribute expertise to a cause where legal action truly saves lives.
