For every child the family should represent a surrounding in which parents would naturally participate in realization of child's needs for belonging, support, understanding and protection. Unfortunately it is not a rare situation that besides the fact that none of the mentioned needs is respected, that also certain basic children's rights are violated through violence in families caused by its members, mostly parents. The main intention of this work is to show the period of participation of the Republic of Croatia in the international processes of protection of fundamental human rights, especially rights of children and also to show the influence of recommendations and critics of the international bodies in the process of changing and adjusting of the national laws and regulations in the area of domestic violence. Considering the fact that the Republic of Croatia became the member of the European Union not very long time ago, its membership represents a completely new tendency of the Republic of Croatia for the adjustment with European acquisition and standards for children's rights. Following the mentioned fact, this work includes description of the inclusion of the Republic of Croatia in the international and European processes through the membership in authorized bodies and issuing of the key plans, strategies and changes for the improvement of child protection. Taking into consideration that in the Republic of Croatia still has not been shown enough capacity for issuing decisions that would thoroughly change the system of welfare in the area of corresponding protection of victims of domestic violence and also appropriate psychosocial intervention for perpetrators of such violence, the efficient, well-defined and coordinated laws and regulations represent the first component in taking over the responsibility by authorized bodies and experts.
