PENANGANAN PELANGGARAN HAK ASASI PEREMPUAN DI PAKISTAN PASCA RATIFIKASI CONVENTION ON THE ELIMINATION OF ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINTS WOMEN (CEDAW) PADA TAHUN 2009-2017 (STUDI KASUS : HONOUR KILLING)
Abstract
The primary aim of this research is to analyze the handling of women’s human
rights violations in Pakistan that commonly knowned as honour killing after
ratifying CEDAW Convention. This research is analyzed by using weak states
theory and partriachal concepts. This research argues that the phenomenon of
honour killing in Pakistan is a case of human rights violations, especially against
women, that occured because there are the weaknesses of the institutional
capacity of the Government Pakistan to make and implement a policy in their
country whether it guarantees the rights of its citizens. This has a close
relationship with the existence of a partriachal culture where women are
considered as the second class after men and inferior position in family
structures. While the role of men is seen as more powerful than women.
