A Paper Shield? Comparative Analysis of Türkiye, Germany, and Azerbaijan’s Legislation in Protective Measures
This blog examines shortcomings in Azerbaijan’s Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence and their compatibility with Articles 3 and 8 of the ECHR. Key issues include the absence of perpetrator eviction measures, the 180-day limit on protection orders, the requirement of a prior violation before long-term protection can be granted, the “normalize relations” mandate, and the law’s restriction to cohabitants and domestic settings.
The case of Ilknur Durak, a healthcare worker harassed by a colleague in Istanbul, illustrates these gaps by asking a question: whom does the law protect? [12] Unlike Turkish and German law, Azerbaijani law limits protection orders to relatives or cohabitants, leaving victims of non-domestic stalking and harassment unprotected.
This blog recommends ratifying the Istanbul Convention, allowing perpetrator eviction, removing time limits, repealing the “normalize relations” mandate, and extending protection based on victim safety rather than the relationship between victim and perpetrator.
