Protecting the Rights of Women in the ESCWA Region Through the Proper Use of UN Resolutions and International Protocols on War and Armed Conflict
Abstract
This document presents a study on Protecting the Rights of Women in the ESCWA Region Through the Proper Use of UN Resolutions and International Protocols on War and Armed Conflict. This study examines international human rights instruments and mechanisms related to the protection of the rights of women living in conflict situations and their relevance and applicability in the ESCWA region. It also makes recommendations to ESCWA member countries and the international community on the development of policies and programmes aimed at protecting the rights of women in conflict situations. The recommendations also urged member countries to enact special legislation pertaining to the family, nationality and freedom of movement; to ratify CEDAW and its Optional Protocol and all war-related conventions and instruments; to adopt special measures to address the physical, economic and social challenges of refugee women; and to ensure that women are included in all aspects of conflict resolution and post-conflict reconstruction efforts.
