Summary/Abstract: The Istanbul Convention adopted in 2011 increasingly represents a subject of ideological, political and legal disputes in Europe. The author first analyzes the content of the convention and the novelties it brings, highlighting the points that have become the subject of conflict and dispute. Then the ratification process is analyzed, which showed that there is serious resistance to its adoption and implementation in Eastern Europe. The paper provides an overview of the situation in individual countries and explains why the document has not been ratified there. The situation is also presented in the countries that have ratified the Convention, but its implementation is still marked by sharp conflicts.
