"Despite its substantial compliance with international human rights obligations, Canada lacks a systemic means of transforming treaty law into domestically enforceable legislation. This article identifies several agents capable of advancing domestic compliance with international human rights agreements, and discusses their current and potential influence on domestic legislation in Canada and elsewhere, particularly the United States." [This article does not focus specifically on women's human rights.]
