Today, a discussion on renewed draft Law against domestic violence has been jointly organized by the President’s Office and the Legal Standing Committee of the Parliament at the State Palace.

Human Rights and Legal Policy Advisor to the President of Mongolia Ch.Unurbayar noted: “The Law against domestic violence was first approved in 2004. Somehow, it was better than not having the law at all. In the last 11 years, Law against domestic violence fulfilled its duty with certain achievements, but it doesn’t meet today’s public need. The law initiators said that this law is too general and weak to enhance the cooperation between the public organizations in preventing the domestic violence”.

After, Members of the Legal Standing Committee, MP L.Bold, MP D.Ganbat and other representatives of legal, human rights and judiciary organizations expressed their views on the renewed draft Law against domestic violence.
