The UK already has some of the most robust protections in the world against violence towards women and we already comply with the majority of the articles to the convention. <br><br>One of the key components was the criminalisation of forced marriage which has now come into force following Royal Assent of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. However government departments and the devolved administrations continue to rigorously examine whether we are doing everything necessary to be able to ratify the convention. In particular, this includes considering the extent to which we first need to take extra-territorial jurisdiction in respect of offences established in accordance with the <br>convention.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 18/11/2014 17:45:30 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
