".
The Council has not received any detailed information regarding the cases of violence against women referred to in Mr McCartin’s question, or regarding the reasons why the Russian State Duma has failed to ratify the Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, a convention signed by Russia on 8 May 2001. The Council closely follows developments in human rights in the Russian Federation and regularly raises issues related to human rights and the rule of law in meetings with the Russian authorities. The Council, I can assure you, will raise the matter of violence against women, as well as the failure to ratify the protocol, in an appropriate forum. We must remember that there are Member States of the European Union which have not yet ratified the protocol. Moreover, the European Union will also continue to express its general concern in this field – in order to promote the protection of human dignity without distinguishing between men and women, with particular reference to women’s rights – in international organisations, starting with the United Nations."@en1
