A/HRC/32/42 Yildirim (deceased) v Austria. The Committee, while recognizing the State party’s comprehensive legislation and policies addressing domestic violence, concluded that the political will this manifested must be supported by State actors who adhere to the State party’s obligations, including that of due diligence, for individual women victims of domestic violence to be able to enjoy the practical realization of the principle of equality between women and men and their human rights and fundamental freedoms. In both cases, the Committee concluded that the State party had violated its obligations under Convention.5 30. In 2003, the Committee, pursuant to article 8 of the Optional Protocol to the Convention, undertook an inquiry into the abduction, rape and murder of women in and around Ciudad Juarez, State of Chihuahua, Mexico, and recommended that the Government investigate thoroughly and punish the negligence and complicity of public authorities in, the disappearances and murders of women.6 In 2012, the Committee conducted an inquiry with regard to the Philippines on the implementation of an order issued by the Mayor of the City of Manila on 29 February 2000, on the provision of sexual and reproductive health rights, services and commodities in the City of Manila. The Committee recommended that the State party ensure the immediate implementation of the Reproductive Health Act (adopted on 21 December 2012) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, including provisions that guaranteed universal access to the full range of reproductive health services and information for women (CEDAW/C/OP.8/PHL/1, para. 51 (b)).
