Declarations, Reservations, Objections and Notifications of Withdrawal of Reservations Relating to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women

States Parties to multilateral conventions may file "declarations" that generally serve to clarify or expand upon a States view of its obligations under the Convention. Reservations indicate that a State does not consent to be bound to a particular duty under the Convention. States may not file reservations which defeat the "object and purpose" of the treaty. States may also file objections to reservations filed by other states. This document, produced by the CEDAW Committee is a list of the declarations and reservations entered by States Parties to the Women's Convention
