 | | Simultaneously, she called on the government to set up a judicial inquiry headed by a Supreme Court judge to investigate almost 300 cases of honour killings reported in 1998 in Pakistan. | | | A man's ability to protect his honour is judged by his family and neighbours. | | | The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1993 affirmed that states must "exercise due diligence to prevent, investigate and, in accordance with national legislation, punish acts of violence against women, whether those acts are perpetrated by the State or by private persons". |

| | Bibliography on Crimes of Honour |
| | The article also provides a case study of the practice of honour crimes within the Druze community in Palestine, through the illustration of a local youth colluding with the police to ensure that those who commit honour killings are not bought to justice. | | | However, the virtual absence of court cases involving this issue demonstrates that a family's monopoly over the sexuality and reproduction of its women, which underlined most political and economic arrangements, was not surrendered to the courts. | | | Although it has recently been rejected by the Brazilian Supreme Court, earlier invocations of the ‘legitimate defence of honour’ often resulted in little or no punishment for a man who killed his wife on the ostensible ground that she had offended his honour. |

| | Crimes of Honour: Women's Tragedy under Islam & Tribal Customs |
| | Women, who have brought 'shame' to family's 'honour', are sentenced to death by family courts and the sentence is usually carried out by male members of families. | | | Under special laws, the killers are given light sentences, sometimes with little or no jail time at all. | | | After failed efforts, and active campaigns launched against honour killings by women rights activists and progressive forces; as a result of a legislative amendment to Article 340 of the Penal Code, perpetrators of honour crimes are not exempt from the death penalty, anymore. |
