Idag vet man genom flertalet forskningsrapporter och studier att barn som bevittnar våld i nära relationer kan ta lika stor skada som barn som direkt utsätts för misshandel, och att omfattningen av barns våldsexponering i hemmet är stor.

Eftersom Storbritannien efter mer än 30 år sedan CISG:s ikraftträdande fortfarande inte har anslutit sig till konventionen, frågan uppstår om varför så är fallet. Kan det vara så att det till en viss del kan bero på skillnader angående hur den engelska tillämpliga lagen ifråga och CISG ställer sig till skyldigheten att betala skadestånd?
