SPECIAL COMMITTEE NO. 09
GENDER MAINSTREAMING
No.PAP/Legis-1(19)/2024/196.WHEREAS gender equality is a principle enshrined in the UN Charter of 1945, the founding treaty of the international community. Several subsequent human rights treaties have specified this obligation in greater detail, and ratification of the agreements has made it legally binding for the signatory states. In 1979, the UN General Assembly also adopted theConvention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
2.AND WHEREAS the International development policy also contains clear commitments to promote effective advocacy for gender justice. In the 2030 Agenda, it is defined as a cross-cutting goal in all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG 5 also explicitly calls on the international community to ‘achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls’. It is a basic principle of development policy to ensure ‘equal rights, equal obligations, equal opportunities and equal power for women and men’.
