Book Description
"The Senate may consider providing its advice and consent to U.S. ratification of the United Nations (U.N.) Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW, or the Convention) during the 112th Congress.

It calls on States Parties to take measures to eliminate discrimination against women in all areas of life, including political participation, employment, education, healthcare, and family structure.

Other governments that have not ratified the treaty include Iran, Nauru, Palau, Somalia, Sudan, and Tonga"--Second page of June 23, 2011 report
