Abstract

The answer of Spain to the CEDAW Committee decision on Ángela González Carreño v Spain case show us the lack of will of Spanish to follow the recommendations of this Committee in these cases. In fact, it support the lack of enforceability of these decisions to Spain and the limited effectiveness of this mechanism to guarantee that the victims of a breach of the convention get an appropriate compensation when the State lacks the political will to do it.
