Joe Biden

The hearing will come to order, please. Today, the Committee on Foreign Relations is going to consider an important treaty designed to advance the rights of women around the world: The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Action on this treaty is long overdue. It was submitted by President Carter in 1980. Let me say that again. It was submitted by President Carter in 1980.

Joe Biden

Eight years ago, in September 1994, the committee approved this treaty 13 to 5; so we are on record. I voted for this treaty, and others who were on this committee at the time, 13 of us, some of whom are still here, voted for this treaty in 1994.

Unfortunately, no action has been taken on the treaty since that date. At the outset, let me express my disappointment with the manner in which, and I have tried to be very, very cooperative with the Department with which this committee has had great relations and no substantive complaints with the Department of State, but I want to express my disappointment with the manner in which the administration has addressed this treaty. Its cooperation has been far from satisfactory, and this is not just carping. Let me explain why.

Last June, I became chairman -- as my father would say, it is better to be lucky than good. After I became chairman, I wrote Secretary Powell to invite the State Department to submit its list -- and would you close that door back there? I would ask the police to close the door in the back and keep the noise down. Thank you.

Joe Biden

Last June, as I said, after I became chairman, I wrote Secretary Powell to invite the Department of State to submit its list of priorities for treaties pending in the Senate, restating the request made by Senator Helms 3 months earlier, which I might say for my colleagues from the House, this is one of the few things the Constitution does not have them do, treaties. It is a tradition of the Senate. It is a practice to ask each administration to do that. There is nothing abnormal about the request that was made. In my letter I indicated that I expected to convene a hearing on the Woman's Convention in the coming year.

Senator Boxer and I have been talking about this for several years, but because of the -- and I do not say this critically. It is just an observation. Because of the strong opposition of the then-chairman of the committee, there was no likelihood we were going to get a hearing on the treaty, and so we had planned a half-a-dozen different ways to try to bring the treaty up on the floor even without a hearing, and we found that we ran into roadblocks that would make it virtually impossible to get it done, so I indicated that I expected to convene a hearing on the women's convention in the coming year, and that the Department would be asked to testify at the time.

Now, the letter places treaties pending in the Senate in a number of categories. The letter I received from the Department, the letter indicated that the Bush administration supported the women's convention and placed that treaty in category III, a category of treaties which the administration believes, "are generally desirable and should be approved," not their highest priority. There are other treaties they have listed. There are several categories in the letter they have sent us, but in the letter they sent us in February saying, we believe this treaty is generally desirable and should be approved.

Heartened by that statement, in early March I wrote back to the Secretary of State and indicated the committee would hold a hearing after the Easter recess. I invited the Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs to appear at the hearing, scheduled for May 15. As the hearing date approached, the Department informed this committee that it was still discussing who would testify for the administration, so I postponed the hearing, fully expecting that, giving them the opportunity -- they are for this treaty -- to decide who it was who would best make the case for the administration for this treaty, so I postponed the hearing and rescheduled it for this week and issued a new written invitation to the Under Secretary for Global Affairs.

Despite this considerable advance warning -- now, remember, this is right after Easter, and we rescheduled it for now. At the end of May the committee received a request for another delay in the hearing. The reason given, the Department of Justice had just begun a new review of the treaty. So at the end of May we are told, after being told in February they supported this treaty, that the Department of Justice was going to review the treaty.

Now, for years I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee. I can tell you how long it takes the Department of Justice to reach a decision on anything that is controversial. So, I fail to understand this new development. The committee was informed that the treaty priority letter had been subject to a thorough interagency review prior to its submission to the committee. I asked, I said, now look, you sent us this list at the beginning of the year. Was it just an accident that it got put on the list, no one vetted it? They said no, the whole letter we sent you listing all the treaties and our priorities had been subject to a thorough interagency review prior to its submission to this committee.

The sudden news that the Department of Justice has just initiated a review suggests that was either not the case, or something has intervened that I do not fully understand. More to the point, I am concerned by the casual attitude of the executive branch toward the treaty process and the legitimate request of this committee for testimony on a significant treaty pending before it.

I indicated last June -- not this June, last June -- that the committee would have a hearing in the coming year. I reiterated that notice in early March, when I told the State Department the treaty would be subject to a hearing this spring, and over this period never once was the committee informed that the Department of Justice had initiated, was planning to initiate, even thought about initiating a review of this treaty.

I should note that the State Department made a last-minute offer to send two mid-level officials, but inasmuch as their testimony would be incomplete until the Department of Justice had completed a review, I decided to proceed with this hearing today and to hear from the executive branch when it is fully prepared, and if it is not fully prepared, to move the treaty, period, with or without their input.

As of today, the position of the Bush administration, as reiterated in a letter dated June 4, is this. It believes the treaty is generally desirable and should be approved. That statement has not been rescinded, so I am assuming and proceeding as if the President of the United States supports us passing this treaty. The fact that it is reviewing the treaty and the committee's proposed resolution for ratification from 1994 to see if additional conditions should be recommended to the Senate, should be done quickly, because if it is not done, we are going to move, and you all know I say -- I have five of my colleagues sitting before me here. You all know our legislative schedule. What are the prospects, if we were to bring up this treaty on the floor between now and the time we go out, even if -- even if there were overwhelming support for it? Time is a- wasting.

The treaty on the rights of women is a landmark document. It sets forth the basic obligations to advance and protect equality for women. Most nations of the world, 169 of them in all, have become a party to this treaty. For the United States, the treaty will impose a minimal burden. The U.S. Constitution and existing Federal laws will satisfy the obligations of the treaty. The United States will need to enter a handful of reservations to a treaty where it is inconsistent with our Constitution or current Federal law, as we do with nearly every treaty, but the United States will not need to enact any new laws to be in compliance with this treaty.

For the United States, the treaty can be a powerful tool to support women around the world who fight for equal rights. Our voice on women's rights will be enhanced by becoming a party to this treaty, because we will be empowered to call nations to account for their compliance with the treaty. Absent our membership, we cannot do that.

Similarly, the treaty is a powerful instrument for women to demand their rights under it. For example, after the Colombian Government ratified the treaty in 1981, women's groups across Colombia relied on the treaty to successfully fight for women's rights in Colombia's new constitution.

The importance of giving women an equal role in society cannot be understated. Secretary Powell said it as well as anyone in his statement on the International Women's Day: It is not just popular opinion, but plain fact. Countries that treat women with dignity, that afford women a choice in how they live their lives, that give them equal access to essential services, give them an opportunity to contribute to public life, these are the countries that are the most stable, valuable, and capable of meeting the challenges of the new century. Within the last decade, the United States has joined multilateral human rights treaties banning torture, promoting civil and political rights, banning racial discrimination. It is long past time we joined the rest of the world in dealing with this same fervor on the rights of women.

Now, let me just conclude by saying this. If we need any more graphic illustration of why this treaty is needed for women of the world, I just invite you to come back to Afghanistan with me. I invite you to come back to Afghanistan with me, stand there with the Minister for Women's Affairs, and observe that even after the liberation, the majority of women are still wearing burkas. Even after this, they are still worried about their future.

As I met with the Minister of Education and the Minister of Women's Affairs in a building with no heat in the middle of January, I believe, there were a group of women, about 50 or 60, standing out in a big anteroom waiting to see the Ministers. They were all former teachers, and they all had their burkas on, and I said why? Why? And the Minister of Women's Affairs asked the Minister of Education, whose office we were in, whether or not she could call in one of the women. The woman she called in spoke English. She said, Senator Biden wants to know why you are still wearing a burka, and she told me the following story, and I will be very brief.

Joe Biden

She said she rode in on a bus -- and by the way, an interesting incongruity, women with burkas in modern high heels. Seriously, you ought to go and see it. And she said in perfect English, I rode in on the bus, and as I got off the bus from my home I had to walk two blocks to this building. As I crossed the street, a taxicab with five men pulled over off the road and up on the sidewalk and blocked my way between the sidewalk, the cab, and the wall, and the men jumped out and asked me why did I not have my burka on, and I just looked at them, and they said, "the Taliban may be gone, but the mujahedin is still here." I now wear my burka. If you women had not fought to make sure that in Bonn, this new Government, this Loya Jirga which is taking place in Afghanistan right now, included women, it would not happen. If we do not set an international standard, we are going to have this repeated time and again.

So, as I turn the gavel over -- and it is not just ceremonial, it is real -- to the woman in this place who has been the single strongest voice for women internationally, the person who has been the single strongest voice for women internationally as a member of this committee, and I want to make something clear. I do not want anybody to read my not chairing this as meaning that this committee does not view this as vital. The reason that the Senator from California is going to chair this is she has forgotten more about this than most people know. She cares more about it than anybody else in the Senate, and it should be viewed in the way it is intended. This is a symbolic gesture as well to indicate just how important this committee, speaking for myself and I think the majority of this committee, believes this treaty is.

Senator Boxer [presiding]. Senator Biden, I am very moved and touched by your remarks. I hope this hearing will be very fair. It is very balanced, I say to my friends on the other side of the aisle who may not agree with us, and it means a great deal to me, not only that you are allowing me this honor of chairing the first hearing since 1994, but it says to me the fact that you are here and that you made as strong a statement as you did, that we could not be better served. It is, as you would say, a big deal. It is a big deal to me and to the members of this committee.

I think there is no better time than right now to show our commitment to women by approving this treaty, CEDAW. Senator Biden, you touched on the reasons, and I am going to amplify on them a little bit. Afghanistan, we had no idea after 9/11 the road would lead there. The road did lead there, and it led to the liberation of the women of Afghanistan, or at least the first steps of their liberation.

Afghanistan showed us how cruelly women can be treated throughout the world. Under the Taliban, women were beaten for offenses like bearing their ankle or going outside to beg for food without a male escort, or for not wearing the suffocating burka, and the word suffocation is an important word, because the burka not only interfered with their ability to breathe -- and if you have ever put a burka on, you know what I mean -- but it suffocated their individuality.

Indeed, it suffocated their humanity, which is exactly the point. Women were forced to be made invisible, and clearly from Senator Biden's eye witness reports they still are. Their daughters are forced to go without an education, or without basic health care.

Right now, Afghanistan is in the midst of the process to form a new Government, given the past treatment of women and girls in their country, Afghanistan needs an international framework to look to in drafting the new laws of their nation. Clearly, CEDAW should be that guide, and the U.S. should be pushing Afghanistan to abide by the principles contained in the CEDAW treaty, which I might say are the very same principles that guide us in our laws.

I would like to place into the record, and I will do so, a letter sent to me yesterday by Dr. Sema Samar, a vice chair of the Afghan Interim Authority, and the Minister of Women's Affairs, who Senator Biden referred to. As pointed out by Dr. Samar, the U.S. cannot use CEDAW as a diplomatic tool for human rights because we have not ratified it. It is very important, she writes to us, to the women of Afghanistan, that we do this. I want to make clear to all colleagues we are speaking to the women of Afghanistan and the women of the world when we act on this treaty.

We want to welcome you. These two women work for the Minister of Women's Affairs, and they come here to show their strong support for this treaty. We also have women from Egypt and India here today, and I want to thank them. They also feel very strongly. Would they stand up, the women from Egypt and India? They were at a press conference.

Ladies and gentlemen of this committee, this is not a theoretical matter. This is a matter that impacts these women every single day of their lives. This treaty has been ratified by 169 countries since it was first adopted in 1979. The United States is one of the few not on the list. I want to point out to my colleagues, we are standing with non-ratifying countries like Syria, Iran, and Somalia. Syria, Iran, and Somalia. We cannot continue to stand with those nations. It is a disgrace, in my opinion. In my humble opinion it is time to move forward.

The CEDAW treaty is designed to overcome barriers to women's equality in the areas of legal rights, education, employment, health care, politics, and finance. It is a meaningful treaty. Senator Biden gave an example of Colombia. Let me give you one in Brazil. When Brazil reformed its constitution it used the treaty as a guide for including guarantees of human rights to women. In Costa Rica, the treaty was helpful in developing property rights and political participation for women.

Yet we know women all over the world are still suffering discrimination. Worldwide, 130 million women are victims of female genital mutilation, 2 million girls are sold into sexual slavery every year, and women are four times more vulnerable than men from dying from the HIV/AIDS virus. The disease is killing 1.3 million women a year, and yet women are being denied health care throughout the world.

So the committee did hold its last hearing in 1994, and it voted 13 to 5 to report it out, with one abstention. I was not on the committee then. I am so happy to be on it now. But despite this bipartisan vote, the treaty never came before the full Senate for consideration. Today's hearing is an effort to address this treaty from the point where we left off in 1994. We are using as a starting point the recommendations made by the Clinton administration and the understanding added by Senator Helms that says that nothing in the treaty shall be construed to reflect or create any right to abortion.

I also understand there are concerns the CEDAW committee established by the treaty somehow interferes with the sovereignty of the United States. This is false, and I want to lay that right out there. The committee does say some controversial things that I do not agree with, but let it be clear the committee cannot in any way force any government to change its laws or adopt the opinions that they are expressing. If we have to clarify that, we will. We will take care of that problem. We do not want to be deterred.

It is also important to make clear that the ratification would not require the United States to change or adopt any laws. This is very important. Senator Biden addressed the fact that we do not have the Bush administration here, they are not ready, so I will put that in the record.

What I am trying to do is see if we can, with the agreement of the Minority, allow at least one or two of you to go forward before you need to leave, so I am going to put the rest of my statement into the record and say again what an honor this is, and Senator Enzi, would it be alright if we heard from, say, a pro and a con, and then take your testimony immediately following, since they have a vote? That would be nice, so why don't we take Lynn Woolsey, and then Hon. Jo Ann Davis, then they can run and do the vote. Go ahead, Lynn.

There is no better time than now for the Senate to approve the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). We should be propelled forward because Afghanistan has shown us how cruelly women can be treated throughout the world.

Under the Taliban, women were beaten for offenses like showing an ankle or for going outside to beg for food without a male escort. They were forced to wear the burka which suffocated their individuality and their humanity. Women were made to be invisible and their daughters forced to go without an education or basic health care.

Right now, Afghanistan is in the midst of the Loya Jirga process to form a new government. Given the past treatment of women and girls, Afghanistan needs an international framework to look to in drafting the new laws of their nation.

I want to place into the record a letter sent to me yesterday by Dr. Sima Samara -- Vice Chair of the Afghan Interim Authority and Minister of Women Affairs. As pointed out by Dr. Samar, the U.S. cannot use CEDAW has a diplomatic tool for human rights because we have not ratified it -- it is very important to the women of Afghanistan that we do so.

The treaty has been ratified by 169 countries since it was first adopted in 1979. The United States is one of the few who are not on this list. We are standing with non-ratifying countries like Syria, Iran and Somalia. In my opinion, this is a disgrace.

President Carter signed the CEDAW treaty in 1980. It is time to move forward. The CEDAW treaty is designed to overcome barriers to women's equality in the areas of legal rights, education, employment, health care, politics and finance. It is a meaningful treaty.

We know that 130 million women are victims worldwide of female genital mutilation, 2 million girls are sold into sexual slavery each year; and women are four times more vulnerable than men of dying from the HIV/AIDS virus. The disease kills 1.3 million women each year.

As I said before, the committee last held a hearing on the treaty in 1994, and voted 13-5 with one abstention to recommend ratification. Despite this bipartisan vote, the treaty has never come before the full Senate for consideration.

Today's hearing is an effort to address this treaty from the point where we left off in 1994. We are using as a starting point the recommendations made by the Clinton administration, and the understanding added by Senator Helms that says that nothing in the treaty shall be construed to reflect or create any right to abortion.

I also understand that there are concerns that the CEDAW committee established by the treaty somehow interferes with the sovereignty of the United States. This is false. The only requirement this treaty imposes on ratifying countries is to report progress and obstacles encountered in moving toward treaty standards. The committee, which I don't always agree with, cannot mandate government actions.

I want to be clear here: the committee has no enforcement powers. If we need to clarify this fact in the Resolution of Ratification, I think it is worth exploring.

It is also important to make clear that ratification of this treaty would not automatically require the United States to change or adopt any laws. Whenever the U.S. Constitution or laws conflict with the obligations of the treaty, U.S. laws will take precedence.

Unfortunately, we can not explore these issues with the Bush Administration today. The administration has said that this treaty is "generally desirable and should be approved." However, no senior State Department official was made available to testify today. Clearly they have dropped the ball on an issue that is very important -- especially after the way women were treated in Afghanistan.

Dear Senator Boxer: The leaders of my homeland of Afghanistan are convening once again in the traditional Loya Jirga, a long-awaited council whose delegates will outline the way we will live in the future. In my capacity as Chairperson of the Human Rights Commission in Afghanistan, I am asking for the help of the United States in making sure that our new government guarantees full human rights for women. An urgent first step must be your ratification of the International CEDAW Treaty for the Rights of Women.

As the world knows, Afghan women were subjected to outrageous abuses under the previous Taliban government as well as oppression and violence throughout the last 23 years. For the first time in many years, there is a hope that the rights of women will be recognized and defended in this country. Now the Loya Jirga is considering parts of our 1964 Constitution as a model for the new government. It was broadly respectful of basic rights for women, but there is no guarantee the Loya Jirga will adopt those provisions. More models and more persuasion are needed. The CEDAW treaty is the most important international guide and set of standards on the human rights of women, which of course has never been ratified by Afghanistan.

I understand that the U.S. Senate is now considering whether the United States should join 169 other countries in ratifying the CEDAW treaty. I believe it will be important for me and other Afghan women if you do take this step. We will then be able to tell our countrymen that the United States, where women already have full legal rights, has just seen the need to ratify this treaty. This treaty will then truly be the international measure of the rights that any country should guarantee to its women. We will be able to refer to its terms and guidelines in public debates over what our laws should say. Your advisers to many of our leaders here will be able to cite its provisions in their recommendations. And perhaps we women will achieve full human rights for the first time in a generation.

Barbara Boxer

Senator Boxer, on behalf of the women of my country, I urge you to do everything possible to see that the United States ratifies the CEDAW treaty. Members of the U.S. Senate will thus be able to say that they had a significant influence in freeing the women of Afghanistan. Thank you very much for your time and attention to my plea. Please keep in touch with me on your progress. Sincerely, Dr. Sima Samar, Vice Chair and Minister of Women's Affairs.

Out of the 22 years that the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, CEDAW, has been in existence, I have spent the last 9 years in the House pushing for the ratification of this incredibly important treaty. In fact, the first resolution that I introduced in the House was a resolution calling on the Senate to ratify CEDAW. That was in 1993, and I have reintroduced a resolution every Congress since.

In that time, we have subsequently gained cosponsors, bipartisan cosponsors, by the way, as well as support from all sectors of Congress, Republicans, Democrats, blue dogs, new Democrats. The resolution that I have introduced in the 107th Congress, House Resolution 18, currently has 119 bipartisan cosponsors. It is important to note that there is a groundswell of support for ratification, both here in the House and in the Senate and among the local governments and grassroots organizations.

In 1999, CEDAW supporters, including the Church Women United and the United Methodist Women, delivered more than 10,000 individually handwritten letters to Senators urging ratification of the treaty. That is 10,000 individually handwritten letters. I am sure you all received yours. Some said thank you for already supporting it. Others said, please come with us. Needless to say, this has been a long battle for CEDAW supporters. That is why I am pleased to be here today to testify in support of CEDAW and thank again Senator Boxer for making this possible.

R. Woolsey

As part of our agenda to promote international human rights, we must recognize the importance of elevating the status of women. CEDAW is not about creating new rights, but about ensuring that women are able to exercise the same human rights as men. CEDAW establishes a universal definition of discrimination against women and provides international standards to discourage sex-based discrimination. These standards encourage equality in education, health care, employment, and all other arenas of public life.

I would like to echo what you said about what this means to women around the world, and what an embarrassment it is to our Nation to be with North Korea, Iran, and Afghanistan in the way we treat women in not supporting this. We do not treat women here that way, but they want to hear from us because of how we are.

Out of the 22 years that the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has been in existence, I have spent the last nine in Congress, pushing for the ratification of this incredibly important treaty. In fact, the first resolution that I introduced in the House was a resolution calling on the Senate to ratify CEDAW. That was in 1993 and I have reintroduced the resolution every Congress since. In that time we've subsequently gained more cosponsors, as well as more support from all sectors of Congress: Republicans, Democrats, Blue Dogs, New Democrats. The resolution that I have introduced in the 107th Congress, H.Res. 18, currently has 119 bipartisan cosponsors.

It's important to note that there is a groundswell of support for ratification, both here in Congress and among the local governments and grassroots organizations. At the end of last year, sixteen states and 58 U.S. counties and cities, including Mann County and the city of Santa Rosa -- both in the district that I represent -- had passed resolutions advocating U.S. ratification of CEDAW. In 1999, CEDAW supporters, including the Church Women United and the United Methodist Women, delivered more than 10,000 individually hand-written letters to Senators urging ratification of the treaty. That's 10,000! Needless to say, this has been a long battle for CEDAW supporters. That's why I am so pleased to be here today to testify in support of CEDAW, and thank Senator Boxer for making this possible.

As part of our agenda to promote international human rights, we must recognize the importance of elevating the status of women. CEDAW is not about creating new rights, but about ensuring that women are able to exercise the same human rights as men.

CEDAW establishes a universal definition of discrimination against women, and provides international standards to discourage sex-based discrimination. These standards encourage equality in education, health care, employment and all other arenas of public life.

Some opponents of CEDAW claim that ratification of CEDAW would mean that we would have to abolish "Mothers Day" because it singles women out based on their gender. But under CEDAW, discrimination is defined as any difference in treatment on the grounds of gender, which intentionally or unintentionally disadvantages women, and prevents a society from recognizing a woman's rights in both the domestic and public arenas. So I am here to tell you that under this definition of discrimination, we don't have to get rid of "mothers' day," or any other day that is designated to celebrate women.

This comprehensive U.N. treaty serves as a powerful tool for all women as they fight against discrimination. CEDAW has led to substantial improvements for women's lives in countries including Japan, Brazil, Sri Lanka and Zambia. In fact, when Brazil redrafted its constitution, it used CEDAW as a framework for articulating human rights for Brazilian women. Their constitution now contains provisions on gender equality, gender-based violence, and equality of rights within marriage, family planning, and employment. These provisions parallel those contained in CEDAW.

To date, 169 countries have ratified CEDAW. However, as we all know, the U.S. is not one of these countries. In fact, the U.S. is the only industrialized nation that has not ratified CEDAW, a distinction that places us in the company of countries like North Korea, Iran and Afghanistan. The decision to abandon this unfavorable distinction is long overdue.

If we truly want to be regarded as a world leader and champion of human rights, we must teach by example and ratify CEDAW. We must also learn from example. The Taliban rule in Afghanistan was an illustration of how systematic violations against women sanctioned by governing authorities can lead to broader danger and instability. Clearly, a country cannot become stable and democratic if half its population remains oppressed.

As the U.S. works to help Afghanistan rebuild, we are presented with a shameful irony: while we are trying to teach the Afghan people that women must be an equal part of a post-Taliban democracy, we contradict ourselves by refusing to ratify the one international treaty that ensures the rights of all women. This is leading by example.

Women remain grossly under represented at the international level, and in some areas, they are not represented at all. The globalization of today's world makes the equal participation of women at the international level increasingly important. The inclusion of women in all areas of global affairs will make a difference in the policy and decisionmaking processes.

Women around the world are depending on the U.S. to show support for CEDAW because U.S. support will strengthen CEDAW's purpose and enhance its credibility. While countries that have ratified may not all fully comply with CEDAW, U.S. ratification puts us in a position where we can push for fuller compliance.

The time has come for the U.S. to join the other 169 nations that have committed themselves to safeguarding basic human rights and ending gender discrimination by ratifying CEDAW. Today's Senate hearing is a major step in that direction.

Jo Ann Davis

Thank you, Madam Chairman, members of the committee. Thank you for the opportunity to testify on the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women, or CEDAW. As you know, CEDAW requires participating countries to take appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women in all facets of life. The convention also creates a committee to monitor the implementation of CEDAW, composed of representatives of 23 other countries. It is the work product of this implementing committee that I want to focus my testimony upon today, for no matter how laudable the goals of this CEDAW treaty may be, the attempted application of the principles of the convention by the committee has led to profoundly disturbing results, which do not advance the condition of women worldwide.

The committee has the responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the convention by reviewing reports submitted by participating countries. The committee then makes recommendations based upon the reports and responses to committee questioning. While this may initially appear rather benign, these recommendations exert a great deal of informal pressure upon countries that depend upon United Nations funding of human aid programs and the CEDAW committee has made some startling conclusions in implementing the treaty.

For instance, although the treaty specifically states that countries shall take measures to suppress the trafficking and exploitation of women, the CEDAW committee has actually called upon China to decriminalize prostitution, rationalizing that it is often the result of poverty. Similarly, it commended Greece for decriminalizing prostitution and providing a regulatory structure, and urged Germany to legitimize prostitution through labor and social law.

Members of the committee, this is simply inexcusable. Prostitution is inherently demeaning and degrading to women, and in no way promotes sexual equality. It in fact robs women of their dignity, spreads disease and death, and leads to a downward spiral of exploitation and the cheapening of human life. The committee has also criticized a country for the reintroduction of Mother's Day, arguing that it reinforces sexual stereotypes.

I believe that there are gender distinctions we should celebrate, and motherhood is one of them. I am proud to be the mother of two children, and I want to emphatically state that the celebration of motherhood does not demean women in any way.

Madam Chairman, it would be an understatement to say that these types of edicts, and these are only examples, do not promote confidence in the CEDAW committee. Since 1981, the U.S. Senate has had the opportunity to review how CEDAW has worked in practice, rather than theory, and there are no compelling reasons for our Nation to become a party to this pact.

Some may argue that if we do not ratify the treaty, then we will not have a place at the table in how CEDAW continues to be implemented. However, Madam Chairman, the committee is made up of representatives from 23 countries, many with very dubious human rights records of their own, giving any even well- intentioned efforts at reform by the United States little chance of success, were there even to be an American representative on that committee. In fact, to ratify the treaty I believe would send the implicit message throughout the world that the United States was endorsing the work of the CEDAW committee, and that is inexcusable.

Congress also needs to remember that we are a sovereign Nation with a representative democracy sufficient to address issues of gender discrimination and equality in our city councils, State legislatures, and Congress. In the United States, women's voices can be and they are heard, and we enjoy unparalleled opportunities and freedoms in this great country, and I might say that the women in Afghanistan that are enjoying their freedom now was because of our foot soldiers on the ground, and not the treaty.

Our country should enter treaties to promote its interests abroad, be it trade or defense-related, to name a couple. We should not become a party to a treaty full of broad and vague language that has been so recklessly interpreted in the past and only has the potential for more abuse in the future, nor should we be eager to have our laws and social structures pronounced upon by an international committee made up in part by representatives of nations with notoriously poor human rights records.

Madam Chairman, the United States is capable of addressing gender issues in its own free and democratic institutions, and becoming a party to this treaty would in no way further that end. At this time of war, and with such pressing security issues facing our Nation, I urge the Senate not to take up this ill-considered initiative, and I thank you, Madam Chairman.

Thank you very much, and just on your way out, and I am looking forward to having you all back if I can, I want to read for the record what the committee said about prostitution, OK. You said they called for legalization. They said, given the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the committee recommends that due attention be paid to health services for women in prostitution. The Government is also urged to take measures for the rehabilitation and reintegration of prostitutes into society, and the decriminalization of prostitution. It did not call for the legalization.

But I do want to make a point as a mother and a grandmother and a United States Senator from the largest state, I love Mother's Day, and this committee is not going to change my view on that, and clearly, as I said at the beginning, let us not change the subject from the treaty to the committee. The committee has no impact on any Government, it is clearly stated, and we will address this in our statements as we go forward.

If I might make a comment, Madam Chairman, we have to address the committee at the same time we address the treaty. I mean, we have to when we are considering becoming a part of that treaty, because the committee has had a great impact, and I did not say legalize prostitution, I said decriminalize.

Well, I would just make the point that we put it in the record that they talked about the sad case of these women getting HIV/AIDS. I just wanted to point out that we will deal with the committee. That is what I said in my opening statement. Just as Senator Helms dealt with abortion, we will deal with the issue of the committee when we talk about our statements and our comments and our reservations, so I really appreciate your bringing up the committee, because it fits into my opening statement, and I thank you very, very much.

-McDONALD, U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, D.C. Ms. Millender-McDonald. I really have an extended statement. I would not want to water it down by doing it quickly. I would like to come back, but I certainly want to say how much I appreciate this committee having us come before it and want to applaud Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey for her tenacious commitment to this particular treaty.

Yes. We will hold open until you return. we will have the other panelists. Senators from the Republican side will now speak to their heart's content, as long as they wish. As Congresswomen come in it is my intention to call on them even if we need to interrupt another panelist.

Thank you, Madam Chairman. As we have heard and will hear today, accounts of the history and status of the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women, or CEDAW, the title itself promotes the right thing on behalf of women, and I sense that all of us here today share that view. Indeed, the name of this treaty draws good people to want to do good things, but ultimately it is not about the name.

What matters for us here is what is inside the convention. We find an assortment of measures both radical and ill-defined that belie its name, so for 22 years there has wisely been a lid on the Pandora's box, but from time to time curiosity takes control, as is the case today, but curiosity asks many questions, such as, how can we still be interested in the CEDAW agenda decades after the Carter White House sent it to the Hill, after Democrat administrations and Democrat-controlled Senates let it languish for 22 years?

The answer, in short, is that efforts to ratify CEDAW have been sustained by the politics of symbolism. Indeed, the convention addresses an important symbolic principle, one that the United States has supported in other anti-discrimination treaties throughout the 20th century. I suppose that the best intentions were at work when CEDAW was initiated at the United Nations during the Carter administration, but its elaboration was flawed. Perhaps U.N. group-think, the twists and turns of finding agreement, any agreement, is what torpedoed an otherwise useful effort, or perhaps extreme agendas came to dominate the outcome. This can happen in the U.N. setting, as we were reminded last autumn when the U.N. World Conference Against Racism, held in Durban, nearly fell victim to the type of hatred and stereotyping it was supposed to repair.

The big point is that CEDAW's advocates claim to be taking the moral high ground when actually they want to stand 6 feet on top of buried values, values that recognize and appreciate the diversity of people, be they man or woman, boy or girl. Meanwhile, the convention has not made any difference in eliminating discrimination against women. Rather, it serves as a facade for continuing atrocities.

For example, its most admiring signatory countries do not adhere to the letter of CEDAW. China's Government practices forced abortion and sterilization. In Afghanistan, women were oppressed by a series of governments until liberation by U.S. and allied forces. France refuses unconditional extradition to U.S. fugitives who murder American women and girls. Germany, who signed, declines to return abducted American girls to their American parents. Iraq kills its own women and girls with chemical weapons. In Saudi Arabia, religious police let 14 girls die in a fire, rather than allow male rescuers to enter their burning school, and North Korea starves and oppresses its women and girls.

I do not want the United States' prestige to suffer by association with this group of anti-women rogues, and so I subscribe to the views that the ratification of CEDAW is not in the interest of the United States. Now, we will hear testimony as to its merits and demerits, but I am compelled to state that CEDAW would supersede U.S. Federal, and State law, surrendering American domestic matters to the norm setting of the international community. On this point, given its broad definition of discrimination, potentially it could tempt frivolous lawsuits in the United States.

So even if you believe that our country could get something useful out of CEDAW for civil rights at home, or that it would not bargain away any of its sovereignty, why should the United States lend its power and prestige to this misshaped convention? Why give cover to signatory States that continue to discriminate severely against women? Why try to breathe life into an agenda of stale goods whose expired shelf life makes them unhealthy for the United States and the international community?

Despite the fact that for years a democratically controlled Senate and the Clinton White House did not advance its ratification, which is also unlikely in the foreseeable future, CEDAW is in front of us again. So today, therefore, we must revisit these themes that have rightly given the Senate cause to contain its curiosity on this Pandora's box. We will learn a lot, we will advance a principle, but we have to be very careful of a treaty that is written this way.

Thank you, Madam Chairman, and I want to state at the outset I appreciate the hearing. I appreciate you hosting and holding the hearing. I have had the opportunity to work with the chairman on a number of vital women's issues over the years, something I am very proud of. In fact, our collaboration recently won the favorable attention of Ms. Magazine, which the chairperson noted to me, and something we have joked about may never happen again, at least not for me. It may for you, but perhaps not for me, but it has been a pleasure to be able to work with you.

We will see. We worked together on Afghan women about 4 years ago, putting forward a resolution calling on the United States and the U.N. to condemn what was taking place in Afghanistan toward women, and I think it was a helpful issue that we brought forward at that time, and I am pleased we did that then, and pleased to see the Afghan women here today. I am looking forward to hearing the testimony, to hearing about the treaty, and the thoughts that people want to put forward. I want to have a good, candid discussion and dialog on the issue. I want to keep an open mind on it and hear what people have to say.

I would note one thing before turning the microphone over and then being able to hear witnesses. I think it really is actions that count more than the words. Afghanistan was a signatory in 1980 to CEDAW, and look what took place there. It is the actions I think that are the important thing, and I realize there is criticism of the Bush administration on this, but it is the actions that count, the actions of our putting forward troops, putting forward an aggressive effort, putting forward a push, an aggressive effort to see that women were involved in the Afghanistan cabinet. I worked with the chairperson on that issue as well.

The actions are the ones that matter to the women around the world, and I think the Bush administration has taken very strong actions here to liberate women and to provide opportunities. Afghanistan signed CEDAW, and yet what are its actions? I think that is what speaks far louder, and I hope that the United States continues to take a very active role, regardless of views on the treaty, and there are differing opinions on it in pursuit of the rights of women throughout the world, everywhere in the world, including Islamic portions of the world that we aggressively and strongly push for those rights of women.

I have traveled to many countries in the world, and I have seen a number of places, Madam Chairman, that women do not have significant rights or opportunities, many oppressed by their government to not have rights or opportunities, and it is the failings of those countries. I think the United States has a unique position and obligation to press for those rights for women throughout the world and aggressively to do so. It is the actions. It is the actions that count much more than the words, and I look forward to us continuing to be very strong in our actions in the support of women throughout the world.

What we are going to do is to take a little break right after I make some comments regarding Senator Enzi's remarks, but before he leaves I want to make a couple of remarks, then we will take a little break. If in 5 minutes we do not have our Congresswomen back, we will go to the next panel and then we will bring them in.

I will make the decision. I think we are going to wait 5 minutes and then we are going to go, because I am trying not to disrupt the flow here, but here is what I wanted to say to Senator Enzi. The answer to the charge that the Democrats let this languish is this. In 1988 and 1990 the committee held hearings, this committee. It did not proceed because neither the Reagan nor Bush administrations, Bush I, supported CEDAW, and as you know we do need the President to sign it. The Senate did move it forward under President Clinton in the 103d Congress, but it was blocked in the full Senate. It was reported out favorably.

Now, this administration wrote to us and told us that the treaty should be approved, so we are moving forward on that basis, but what I want to say, Senator Enzi, is when you say -- and I will be glad to yield to you when I finish -- from time to time curiosity takes hold when we look at the treaty, let me just say that my interest in the treaty is not that I am curious about it at all. I am not curious about it. I am very anxious to see it ratified in this, the greatest Nation in the world, and I want to see women have rights, so it is not about curiosity.

Second, he says the treaty is symbolic, and I want to point out a few specifics. In Colombia, it was not symbolic when the courts ruled in 1992 that the absence of legal recourse then available to a female victim of domestic violence violated her human right to life and personal security. The State now ensures protection for all women. In Uganda it was not symbolic when the State and cities created programs to campaign against domestic violence using State funds for the purpose that is cited in CEDAW. In Costa Rica, the courts are authorized to order an abusive spouse to leave the home and to continue providing economic support, and CEDAW played a big role there. In promoting girls' education in even Switzerland, and Slovenia, and Pakistan, which has a long way to go, and India, when they made progress CEDAW was cited. In improving health care in many countries, Australia, Israel, the Philippines, Argentina, Mexico, and Australia, CEDAW was cited. Improving women's lives at work, CEDAW was cited in many countries, ensuring legal rights in Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda, Botswana, so on the ground it is not a symbolic thing.

Now, in our country, because we are the leader, it is not going to force any changes in the laws, I would agree with you there, that is clear, but what we are hearing from our Afghan women friends and from others is, if the United States does ratify this, it gives us moral authority when we go around to other countries and ask them to please respect the rights of women. It is a pretty simple thing, I think, and so I just wanted to put my disagreements with you into the record, and I would be glad to yield to you for as much time as you might have to respond.

Madam Chairman, I do not want to take up time from Senator Feingold, but I do have additional comments I would like to put in the record that I did not include in that, places where the idea of the treaty has failed, places where the committee has absolutely gone against at least the principle of the treaty, and places where the United States would be giving up some of its sovereignty if it were to go into the treaty, and I think those are reasons why it has not been taken up.

If a treaty is taken up by the U.S. Senate and passes by the majority that is necessary to pass a treaty, I do not think there is much chance that a President who put that forward would be vetoing the treaty.

I simply would like to put my statement -- well, I will talk for 30 seconds. I would like to put my longer statement in the record. What I wanted to do is just commend you, Madam Chair, because I remember when you and I were the only Democratic Senators here at an attempt to bring this up a while back, and a group of our distinguished Congresswomen came here and sat in the audience and were concerned about this, and it was kind of a lonely time, and it is only because of your leadership. You are the driving force behind this. It is long overdue. I get very frequent contacts from people in my State that they want this done, and so I just want to commend you, and I am delighted that this is getting the leadership it needs.

Note

[The prepared statement of Senator Feingold follows:] Prepared Statement of Senator Russell Feingold I am pleased to be here today to consider the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Since my election to the Senate, I have called for the ratification of this important treaty, and I have been amazed and perplexed through the years that the United States has remained one of the few countries in the world that has not ratified this bedrock human rights document.

The commitment of the United States to the fundamental human rights of all women and girls cannot be questioned. Yet we have refused to join the primary international mechanism for promoting and protecting the rights of women and girls around the globe. We have had twenty-two years now to consider this ratification. I urge my colleagues to stop hesitating. Our hesitation is an embarrassment to this body and to the United States. We must ratify this treaty, and we must ratify it now. Our ratification stands to send an important message to the larger world about our commitment to the rights of women and girls, while lending additional support and momentum to the work of the body that administers CEDAW.

We all know that discrimination against women robs a country of the talents and productive resources of at least half of society. But it is important to reflect on this point. Think, if you will, of the development potential that is lost every day in so many developing countries, and of the vast potential that will continue to be lost so long as girls and young women face discrimination in accessing education, careers, economic credit, and participation in the political life of their country. Think, too, of the lives that are lost as a result of more violent patterns of discrimination. Think of the women and girls who are denied access to health care, or denied the right to make decisions about their care; think of those who face prosecutions or death for asserting their sexual or reproductive autonomy in defiance of fathers, husbands, or brothers; think of the endemic crisis of domestic violence, and the failure of so many governments and societies to address the epidemic. Women are literally dying because of persistent patterns of discrimination.

In recent months we have listened with horror and shock as the women of Afghanistan have emerged from their enforced seclusion to describe years of abuse. The world has witnessed few more egregious examples of institutionalized discrimination against women, but we must also recognize that women in many other societies are living equally restrictive lives. I can think of no better way for the United States to encourage governments around the world, including the new government in Afghanistan, to respect the rights of women than for us to ratify CEDAW.

I look forward to this hearing today, and I look forward to swift action to ratify this Convention. It is time for the United States to join the 169 other nations that have ratified CEDAW. And it is time for all of us to make a personal commitment to eliminating all forms of discrimination against women and girls worldwide.

Note

[The prepared statement of Senator Dodd follows:] Prepared Statement of Senator Christopher J. Dodd Good morning. I would like to welcome our witnesses to the committee, and thank them for coming here to testify on a topic that I believe to be of vital importance, the Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. This hearing has been a long time coming, and, in my view, serves an important purpose. It is high time that the United States, as the only industrialized democracy that has not ratified CEDAW, make clear its policy toward this treaty and the broader issue of discrimination against women.

The United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, CEDAW, is in essence a "Bill of Rights" for women worldwide. It is the first and only tool available to address women's political, cultural, economic, social, and family rights on a global level. When this treaty was drafted in 1979, it represented the initial step in the development of human rights language for women throughout the world.

Unfortunately, while the rest of the world has built upon the foundation of 1979, the United States lags woefully behind. As of May 2002, 169 countries have ratified CEDAW, yet the United States is among a small number of countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, and Sudan, that have not yet taken the important step of ratification. Negotiations on this convention were completed under the Carter Administration in 1980, and the treaty was formally transmitted to the Senate on November 12, 1980. Although the Senate has held many hearings on this treaty over the past few years, it has never been brought to the Senate floor for a vote. The United States made ratification of the Women's Convention by the year 2000 one of its public commitments at the U.N. Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. It is now up to us to honor this commitment.

In my view, the United States must recognize the positive impact that the treaty can have internationally, and act accordingly to ratify this treaty as soon as possible. Already, CEDAW has promoted the development of citizenship rights in Botswana and Japan, inheritance rights in the United Republic of Tanzania, and has fostered political participation in Costa Rica. Domestic violence laws have been developed in countries such as Turkey, Nepal, South Africa and the Republic of Korea, as have anti-trafficking laws in the Ukraine and Moldova.

As long as the United States remains a part of the small minority of nations that has not ratified the treaty, the country's credibility as a world leader in human rights is grossly compromised. The United States has and must continue to set an example for other nations to follow. Without U.S. ratification, other nations may feel at liberty to ignore CEDAW's mandate and their responsibilities under it. The United States must continue in its quest for equality and send a message to the rest of the global community that discrimination against women must end.

On a domestic level, CEDAW ratification would promise positive implications for women in our nation. The treaty would encourage women and girls to pursue vocations in math and science through the recruitment of female workers, as well as the expansion of both private and public programs that boost participation in these fields that are currently dominated by men. In regard to sexual harassment, a pressing issue for the United States, the treaty encourages schools to adopt and enforce stronger sexual harassment policies.

Discrimination is an active force in employment even today. CEDAW seeks to eliminate any and all gaps that exist between the employment of men and women in the work force. Through the treaty's ratification, the United States would be forced to take necessary measures to introduce paid maternity leave without the loss of employment seniority, merit, or benefits. Twenty-two of the nations that have ratified the treaty have instituted laws and policies to promote equal opportunities for females in employment; the United States must follow suit, building on the success of the FMLA.

In our country, domestic violence is and has been an issue of nationwide concern. Only 44 percent of all rural counties have full- time prosecutors for violent crimes against women, and women in these areas do not even have sufficient legal representation to combat domestic violence if they choose to seek it. Ratification of the treaty would encourage the United States to provide more sufficient social and legal services.

CEDAW has great domestic and global implications. Rarely does this committee have the opportunity to consider actions that can affect so many people in all corners of the globe. Especially now, as the US seeks to encourage active participation of women in Afghanistan, we must finally step up to our leadership role in this debate. I thank Senator Boxer for holding this hearing today to encourage the Senate to do just that.

[The prepared statement of Senator Nelson of Florida follows:] Statement for the Record Submitted by Senator Bill Nelson of Florida I would like to praise Chairman Biden for calling this hearing, as well as Senator Boxer for her leadership on this issue. The time for U.S. leadership to advance women's rights around the globe is now. We can take a significant step forward using the bully pulpit of our nation's position as the beacon of freedom, and as an advocate of human rights and equality when this committee reports, and the full Senate ratifies, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) Treaty. Twenty-two years of inaction is inexcusable. It is time to put force and substance behind repeated U.S. calls for the advancement of women's rights in all parts of the world by ratifying CEDAW.

So what we are going to do at this point is take a 5-minute break and in 5 minutes if, in fact, the women have not returned, or at least one for the panel, we are going to go to the first two pro and con witnesses in the next panel, so for 5 minutes we will take a break. We stand in recess until 11:01.

The committee will come to order. I see we have our Congresswomen back. We are most grateful for you moving so quickly, and then right after they are completed we will hear from our next panel, and we are going to lead it off with Hon. Jeane Kirkpatrick and then we will get to the rest of the panel, so why don't we continue where we left off.

CEDAW establishes a universal definition of discrimination against women and provides international standards to discourage sex-based discrimination. These standards encourage equality in education, health care, employment, all other areas of public life. Some opponents of CEDAW claim that ratification would mean that we would have to abolish Mother's Day. That is sort of what we heard with one of the other witnesses, because it singles women out based on their gender, but under CEDAW discrimination is defined as any difference in treatment on the grounds of gender which intentionally or unintentionally disadvantages women and prevents a society from recognizing a woman's rights in both the domestic and public arenas. I am here to tell you that under this definition of discrimination we will not have to get rid of Mother's Day or any other day that is designated to celebrate women.

This comprehensive treaty serves as a powerful tool for all women as they fight against discrimination. CEDAW has led to substantial improvements for women's lives in other countries, including Japan, Brazil, Sri Lanka, and Zambia. I am going to leave off here, because I have said in general that it is an embarrassment not to be part of this as the leading Nation in the world, and I yield to my other colleagues.

Madam Chair, as you know, the Senate has already agreed to the ratification of several important human rights treaties, including the Genocide Convention, the Convention Against Torture, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. CEDAW established a worldwide commitment to combat discrimination against women and girls, yet the United States has neglected our responsibility to participate. While 169 countries of the world have ratified or acceded to CEDAW, and the United States is among a small minority of countries, including Afghanistan, North Korea, Iran, and Sudan which have not.

Previous administrations have proposed a small number of reservations, understandings, and declarations to ensure that United States ratification fully complies with all constitutional requirements, including the rights of States and individuals. The legislatures of California, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Vermont have all endorsed United States ratification of CEDAW. Also, over 100 United States-based civic, legal, religious, educational, and environmental organizations, including many major national membership organizations, support ratification of CEDAW, and yet we have seen no Senate action since President Carter signed the treaty and submitted it to the Senate for its consent in 1980.

We did, of course, hear that this committee had passed it out in 1994. Our overdue ratification of CEDAW would allow the United States to finally nominate a representative to the CEDAW Oversight Committee. Our vocal support for the human rights of every individual. Our role as a world leader should mandate our support for CEDAW, and our lack of action, quite frankly, is nothing short of embarrassing.

The statistics surrounding the abuse and discrimination of women is staggering. Around the world at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Violence against women is one of the most common human rights violations, and it takes many forms: physical, sexual, and psychological. It cuts across most country's social groups and socioeconomic classes.

Violence against women can occur in every setting: homes, streets, schools, and places of work. Violence is a multidimensional issue that stems from women's subordinate status in society, women's economic dependence on men, and women's overall lack of power, as is the case most commonly in developing nations. In most societies around the world there are beliefs, norms, and social institutions that legitimize and perpetuate violence against women.

Women are particularly vulnerable to violence during times of political upheaval and economic instability. Although rape as a weapon of war has been internationally condemned, armies continue to use it in conflicts around the globe. For example, in 1992, as many as 20,000 women were raped in the first few months of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and most recently we hear horrible accounts of women and girls being raped in Afghanistan as they try to return to their homes from refugee camps.

Violence prohibits many women from participating in the economy, being active in civic life, accessing educational opportunities, and obtaining health care. One out of every five healthy years of life are lost to women ages 15 to 44 as a result of violence. This loss of productivity impairs women's economic development and overall growth in their respective national economies.

War and violence have uprooted and displaced 35 million people worldwide from their homes; 80 percent of these refugees are women and children. They have little access to basic food, medical care, hygiene, and shelter. But women are not only victims, they are taking the initiative to reach across the conflict divide and foster peace. In Mali and Liberia women joined together to collect arms, in Northern Ireland, Catholic and Protestant women created joint community development projects; and yet, despite women's positive roles in fostering peace, they are excluded from most peace negotiations.

The United States should actively engage in ways to eliminate the brutality that women face around the world. One of the first and most basic steps is to adopt the objectives of CEDAW. We can also strengthen our support for programs that advocate for protective legislation, judicial accountability, and enforcement of existing laws relating to the prevention of violence against women and girls. We should also encourage the integration of violence intervention into all sectors of the United States' international development assistance, invest in a variety of intervention programs, strengthen women's economic opportunities in order to improve their options and their negotiating power outside of and within the home, and encourage communities to design response capabilities like health, police, judicial, and social services to respect the autonomy and meet the needs of victims.

Madam Chair, thank you again for this opportunity to share our frustration for the 22 years of basic inactivity on CEDAW. I hope that this hearing will finally create some movement, some momentum on the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women. It is belated, but I think the time is now. I think this will be the beginning of that ratification by the Senate. I sincerely believe that its ratification will finally give the force of international law to our effort on behalf of women's rights, and also give us the credibility to be taken seriously on this issue when we advocate with foreign governments on behalf of human rights.

This hearing is an important step toward ratification of the treaty and a step toward equality for women worldwide. This hearing is long overdue, more than 22 years overdue. This week is an historic one for women. Here we are considering a step in which the United States would officially join the world community in supporting the rights of women. Meanwhile, across the globe in Kabul, Afghanistan, women are talking about and are taking part for the first time in the Loya Jirga, the assembly of leaders who will determine the future of that shattered country.

I hope that future will include ratification of the CEDAW treaty for the rights of women. I would hope that in the year 2002, both the United States and Afghanistan will join the 169 other countries that have already ratified the treaty for the rights of women. Let's face it, 169 countries cannot be wrong.

Why is the treaty for the rights of women so important? It is the bill of rights for women worldwide. It sets up standards for the treatment of women. It is a framework from which any country can build programs that can save women's lives and bring women into the economic mainstream of development. If we are serious about helping women in Afghanistan, we will ratify the CEDAW treaty. If we are serious about making sure that the Taliban's terrible actions against women will never, ever happen again anywhere, we will ratify the CEDAW treaty. If we are serious about saving women's lives, we will ratify the CEDAW treaty.

How does the treaty work? It outlines what equal treatment for women looks like in everyday life, in legal rights, education, health care, employment, politics, and finance. The United States is already among the world's leaders in rights for women, and ratification would not require us to change a single one of our laws; but the situation is different in other countries. Too many women cannot speak out, out of fear of being beaten. Too many women are sold as sex slaves. Too many are raped as a weapon of war. Too many girls still cannot go to school, and too many women are not allowed even to inherit property.

In places like that, women and their governments have used the terms of the CEDAW treaty to set up primary school and health care programs for girls, for example, and to get women the right to vote and to inherit property. Organizations have used it for guidance in setting up programs to keep women from being beaten or killed by husbands in dowry disputes or to provide safe motherhood kits.

But the United States needs to ratify the treaty, too, in order to give strength to these movements. I have had the privilege of taking part in events worldwide related to implementing the CEDAW treaty. I was the congressional co-chair of our delegation to the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, in 1995. I am a member of several groups of parliamentarians who represent hundreds of countries.

Often, I am asked, "Why hasn't the United States ratified CEDAW? Don't you know how important this treatment is for our country and around the world?" Senator Boxer, it is tremendously embarrassing as a Member of Congress to face these questions, especially when President and Mrs. Bush have spoken so forcefully about the need to help women in Afghanistan. I can only tell people that the reason we have delayed so long is that too many Senators have serious misunderstandings about what the treaty really does.

Let me now discuss some of these misunderstandings for one brief moment. Opponents of this treaty have called it a radical version of the Equal Rights Amendment. I have to say, I only wish that that were true. I wish this treaty did have the power to require Afghanistan and other countries to treat women fairly, but the truth is that it has no true enforcement mechanisms. Ratification requires no change in anyone's laws. The treaty's only power is the power of public opinion.

Senator Helms, I believe, has said this treaty has, "a radical anti-family agenda, close quote, that denigrates motherhood and seeks to level out all distinctions between men and women." With respect, this is just not true, and I ask you to look carefully at the facts. The CEDAW committee's words on these matters have been twisted and taken out of context by treaty critics.

For example, the critics say the committee wants all children to be in day care rather than at home with their mothers. This is an extreme distortion of a remark the committee made about the situation in Slovenia, where only 30 percent of young children of working parents, fathers and mothers both working, were in day care. Only 30 percent were in day care. The committee noted that the other 70 percent were missing out on possible education while their mothers and fathers were at work. They were home alone.

Critics say the treaty would promote abortion because it endorses family planning and that is a code word for abortion, but family planning is no code word. President Bush supports family planning and the right of every couple to plan the number and spacing of their children. The CEDAW treaty has been certified as abortion-neutral by the State Department; Senator Helms led the way in making this explicit back in 1994, adding a formal understanding to the treaty that notes it does not guarantee any right to abortion.

In a number of cases, critics say the CEDAW committee came out against motherhood. In truth, the committee was lamenting stereotypes about women that some countries use to justify laws discriminating against them, or to let men avoid sharing family responsibilities. This was the case in Armenia and even in Denmark and Luxembourg.

The committee rightly said that honoring, "the noble role of the mother," and setting up Mother's Day, is no excuse for keeping pregnant women from working or denying women their job benefits. The vast majority of American women would agree with that. In fact, an overwhelming majority of American women and men support U.S. ratification of CEDAW, just as they support full human rights for women and men.

Already, 16 States and several dozen cities and counties have passed resolutions calling for ratification, including Los Angeles, Boston, and New York. It is not just women in other countries who would benefit if the United States ratifies this treaty. American women have many rights, but they still lag behind men in some important areas.

Ms. Maloney [continuing]. -- salaries of U.S. men and women in management, and it found that men's pay remains higher than women's in virtually every field, and that in seven fields the gap has actually gotten worse since 1995. Other studies have found that large majorities of American women think the glass ceiling is stronger than ever before. Men seem to think it is only women's lack of experience that keeps them out of the executive suite, or that women prefer it that way. Women know better.

If we ratify the CEDAW treaty, none of these things would change overnight, and the treaty could not require any additional laws to change them, but it would be a signal that the U.S. Government is committed to promoting and protecting the equality of opportunity for its own citizens; it would set the stage for U.S. leadership, ensuring that women are fairly treated here and around the world. This action is long overdue.

Thank you, Madam Chair. It is good to see you in the seat. You have absolutely been tenacious on behalf of women in trying to pass this treaty. I also would like to thank my dear friend and colleague, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, who, too, has been tenacious and has had a commitment to passing CEDAW.

I speak for those young women who are outside of this door who are unable to come into this committee room today. We all know that 169 countries have ratified this treaty for the rights of women, and yet our own country, the United States, is the only industrialized western nation not on the list. Madam Chair, given our position in the world, by failing to endorse this treaty we are compromising our credibility as a world leader for human rights.

The treaty for the rights of women provides benchmarks against which countries can measure their domestic and foreign policies with regard to women. Our Government made a public commitment at the United Nations Conference on Women held in Beijing in September 1995, and at that time we said that we would ratify this treaty by the year 2000. Well, 2000 has come and gone, and we have yet to honor that promise.

The treaty is a tool that women around the world are using to fight the effects of discrimination. We all know the statistics. Women and children are the poorest groups of our societies. Increasingly, women and children are the primary victims of war. When we reflect on the desperate plight of Afghan women, which you have been in the lead on, they have been terrorized, tortured, and stripped of all human rights and human dignity under this Taliban law.

We realize that the United States must make every effort to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in other rogue States and nations. By ratifying this treaty, Americans would be adding a powerful voice to the ongoing fight against violence against women. However, if we fail to ratify the treaty we are sending a very different signal to the world. We need to be able to speak out loudly and strongly on the violence against women, and to be able to point to our country's signature on the treaty. Without our ratification, we are arguing from a position of weakness.

Because the United States is not a signatory, some Governments may feel free to ignore the treaty's mandate and their obligation under it. By ratifying the treaty, the United States will enforce and reinforce its commitment to the elimination of discrimination based on gender. In addition, by ratifying this treaty, the United States would gain international credibility and influence in three ways.

Second we would be entitled to wield even greater influence in the fight against violence and discrimination based on sex. This is because we would be entitled to nominate a United States' expert to be a member of this committee on this treaty. The committee is responsible for only monitoring the status and the treaty of women from countries that have ratified this treaty. They only try to make sure that we are in compliance.

A report based on the committee's observation is presented regularly to the United Nations. One function of the report is to reveal human rights abuses and to encourage the countries where abuses have occurred to change their discriminatory laws. For instance, measures are being taken in many countries to stamp out the sexual exploitation and trafficking of women and girls. I met just yesterday with about 10 African women who are speaking about the trafficking, this horrific thing that happens to women in other countries and the exploitation of their children. This is real. This is real, committee members, and we are begging for this committee to ratify this treaty. A United States expert would bring to the committee and to the United Nations the knowledge, the experience and benefit of our own experience in combating discrimination against women.

The third advantage that the United States would gain from ratifying the women's treaty relates to women in our own country. While women in the United States can access legal protections against violent attackers, the fact is that incidents of violence remain high right here in our country. Every year, about 3 million women are physically abused by their husbands or boyfriends, and unfortunately this has been documented by the United States Department of Justice Study in 1998 and the Commonwealth Fund study in 1998. Ratification of the treaty for the rights of women would send a signal to perpetrators and victims alike that the United States is serious about eliminating violence at home as well as abroad.

One hundred and sixty nine (169) countries have ratified the treaty but the United States is the only industrialized western nation not on the list. By failing to endorse the treaty, we compromise our credibility as a world leader for human rights. Our Government made a public commitment at the United Nation Conference on Women held in Beijing in September 1995. At that time, we said that we would ratify the treaty by the year 2000. The year 2000 has come and gone and we have not yet honored that promise.

The Convention is a tool that women around the world are using to fight the effects of discrimination. We all know the sad statistics -- women and their children are the poorest group in all societies. Increasingly women and children are the primary victims of war. When we reflect on the desperate plight of Afghani women -- terrorized, tortured and stripped of all human rights under Taliban rule -- we realize that the United States must make every effort to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in other rogue states.

Without our ratification, we are arguing from a position of weakness. Because the United States is not a signatory, some governments may feel free to ignore the treaty's mandate and their obligations under it. By ratifying the treaty, the United States will reinforce its commitment to eliminate discrimination based on gender.

Second, we would be entitled to wield even greater influence in the fight against violence and discrimination based on sex. This is because we would be entitled to nominate a United States expert to be a member of the Committee on the treaty (CEDAW). The committee is responsible for monitoring the status and treatment of women from countries that have ratified the treaty. A Report based on the committee's observations is presented regularly to the United Nations.

One function of the report is to reveal human rights abuses -- and to encourage the countries where abuses have occurred -- to change discriminatory laws. For instance, measures are being taken in many countries to stamp out the sexual exploitation and trafficking of women and girls. A United States expert would bring to the committee -- and to the United Nations -- the knowledge, experience and benefit of our own experience in combating discrimination against women.

The third advantage that the United States would gain from ratifying the Women's Treaty relates to women in our own country. While women in the United States can access legal protections against violent attackers, the fact is that incidents of violence remain high. Every year, about three million women are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend. (United States Department of Justice study in 1998 and a Commonwealth Fund study in 1998.) Ratification of the Treaty for the Rights of Women would send a signal to perpetrators and victims alike that the United States is serious about eliminating violence at home as well as abroad.

We are going to move very quickly to the second panel. We are going to lead it off with Hon. Jeane Kirkpatrick, who is against the treaty, and then go to Hon. Harold Hongju Koh, professor at Yale Law School, and I am going to ask the panelists if they could move quickly, because tempus fugit, and we need to move forward. Thank you.

Next will be Juliette McLennan, who is pro, then Kathryn Balmforth, who is con, then Christina Sommers, who is con, so the next panel will be three pro and three con. We are going to lead it off with Ambassador Kirkpatrick. I am going to ask her if she could take a seat right now, and ask the Congresswomen if they could allow that to occur, and we are going to start with Hon. Jeane Kirkpatrick, and I am going to ask the panelists to put your statement in the record.

The answer to the first question is, the widespread discrimination in many societies, including most Third World societies, most societies in the world, the answer is yes, clearly, obviously in most societies. Many, if not most, girls and women have little control over their lives. Almost all women are denied equal rights, equal educational opportunity.

In many Third World countries, as you know, women can neither choose their husbands nor their marital status, nor control the size of their families. In many of these countries women are denied contraception, access to contraception, even if it is widely available in their countries.

In a number of countries in Africa and the Middle East societies, women are trapped in early and polygamous marriages, denied education beyond elementary school, if that, and destined to live as dependents and paupers. Should they become widows, these are miserable circumstances. I can hardly bear to think about them. There are countries in which bride-burning is still a practice, widow-burning is still a practice. These are dreadful situations.

If one thing is clear, it is that there are no global standards agreed upon about what constitutes discrimination against women particularly. It is also true, of course, that most of the issues associated with women specifically, like marriage and child-bearing are dealt with casually if at all in most societies.

What I am going to address very briefly is, what could a convention eliminating discrimination do for women who are trapped, for example, in the codes governing marriage? What could they do for that Nigerian woman that we read about not long ago who was sentenced to be stoned to death because she was thought to be guilty of adultery? I guess she was finally pardoned, or that sentence was suspended. Only at the very last moment, though.

This convention unfortunately is unable to have much effect. Because I lived at the U.N. for 5 years I became extremely impressed with the emptiness of words. I would like very much to see women all over the world have all of the rights that are enumerated in CEDAW. I would like to see women all over the world have all of the rights enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I might say, too, and I believe that it is important, it is more important to do than to speak.

It would be very important, in my opinion, if we desire to make the U.N. a seat of improvement of the status of women, if the U.N. desired to make the U.N. the site of improvement and elimination of discrimination against women, they could begin with their own personnel policies which, though less discriminatory than they have been in past times, remain highly discriminatory. Very few women ever manage to make their way out of the lower ranks of U.N. personnel systems.

They could also systematically eliminate discrimination against women in each and every one of their international programs, refugee programs, development programs, health programs, where when I visited those programs and supported them, I saw with my own eyes the incredible discrimination against women in some of the refugee camps, above all in the Afghan refugee camps, actually, in the eighties. The U.S. and U.N. were both trying to respect traditional culture, which made paupers and beggars out of the women in the camps, and most of the people in the camps were women.

What really bothers me is the impression that people have that they have solved the problem because they have passed their U.N. treaty. The fact is, U.N. treaties read well and they act almost not at all. I mean, they simply do not lead to improvement and progress almost never, and unless and until there is implementation, then, of the treaties, and that is true for all the treaties, I might say, not just this treaty but all the treaties, and until there is implementation of the treaties --

I understand that, Madam Chairman, and I thank you for that. I just want to emphasize that I believe it is cynical, if I may, to pretend that ratifying the global treaty will transfer or transform the practices of discrimination against women in almost all the societies in the world. If we want to help women in the most oppressed societies, I think we should above all try to share the lessons that American women have learned from experience.

We should emphasize implementation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, because, Madam Chairman, one thing I am certain of, and that is that women never have their rights respected except in societies where men have rights respected. That is just a fact, and so I think maybe the focus needs to be on freedom and on democracy and on rule of law, and universal rights for everyone.

Note

[The prepared statement of Ambassador Kirkpatrick follows:] Prepared Statement of Hon. Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Thank you for inviting me to testify today. The rights and roles of women is a subject about which I have thought and written a good deal in the course of my life. I have lived through very significant changes in the opportunities and practices that determine the lives of women in the United States and elsewhere. My own life and experiences have been importantly affected by changes in attitudes and practices concerning women. So naturally I have been and remain interested in this subject.

At the time that I sought employment as a teacher of political science at the university level, it was still commonplace to encounter frank admission by some persons in authoritative positions in public university such as I encountered from one department chair: "We don't have any women in this department and, frankly, we like it that way." Fortunately I was able to identify a department whose members had more open minds on this matter.

When Ronald Reagan appointed me to serve as the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations in his first Administration, I became the first woman ever to represent a major power or a Western Country in the United Nations; and the first woman to be "at the table" when major issues of foreign policy were decided.

There is widespread discrimination against women in many societies including most Third World societies. In many, if not most, of these societies, girls and women have little control over their lives. In many, women are denied equal, legal rights, and equal educational opportunity. In many Third World Countries women can neither choose their husbands, nor their marital status, nor control the size of their families. In many of these countries women are denied contraception even where it is available.

In a number of Africa's polygamous societies women are trapped into early marriages, denied education beyond elementary school, if that, and destined to live as a dependent or a pauper should they become widows.

As all women (and men) familiar with life on five continents understand, there are no global standards agreed upon by all concerning what constitutes discrimination against women. The patterns of relations between men and women, of distribution of roles, responsibilities, rights, resources, and obligations are as diverse as the laws and practices governing courtship, marriage, divorce, death, inheritance and so forth.

Issues of reproduction and education are more complex but equally or more resistant to regulation by global treaties. Views vary widely and deeply between cultures and civilizations concerning the education of girls as well as boys, of age at marriage, of childbearing, divorce, and distribution of responsibilities in a family.

What can a convention eliminating discrimination do for women trapped into Shari'a codes governing marriage, divorce and inheritance? I share CEDAW's desire to see ended any existing vestige of discrimination against women. I also believe U.S. law provides important defenses for U.S. women against workplace discrimination.

No U.N. body, no U.N. code can overhaul practices in, say, West Africa, where some farmers have four wives, and perhaps, a concubine or two. It may be that U.N. bodies can influence the age for marriage.

This convention will not help girls being sucked into polygamous marriages, nor left penniless by inheritance laws that give everything to the sons and/or the favorite wife or impose a sentence of death by stoning on an unfaithful wife or widow.

The establishment of universal norms and goals can be helpful if the norms are relevant, not if they are so remote from the lives and societies of these societies being considered. A treaty such as CEDAW describes an ideal society and reflects realities of life in no society. It reflects the author's aspiration of some women who managed to get an education for all women: for education, employment, medical care, and a degree of control over their own lives.

Should the United Nations desire to eliminate discrimination against women, they could and should begin with their own personnel policies which, though somewhat less discriminating than in the past, remain heavily biased against women in all policy levels.

The U.N. could and should systematically eliminate discrimination in its programs, its refugee programs, its development programs, its health programs, its education programs. It could undertake a crash program to provide education for girls in societies where there is none.

It is cynical to pretend that a global treaty can transform societies and governments that deny citizens all rights. If we want to help women in the most depressed societies, we should sharp the lessons American women have learned from experience.

Thank you very much. I want to say that Hon. Jeane Kirkpatrick is the senior fellow and director of foreign and defense studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and of course we all remember her as a former Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Every one of our witnesses brings tremendous credibility to this topic, and it is my pleasure now to introduce Hon. Harold Hongju Koh, who is a professor at Yale Law School, who is a former Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights.

Let me commend you, Senators, for your action to move to ratify this long overdue convention, which I have studied and worked for both in an academic capacity and as Assistant Secretary of State. In his recent State of the Union Address, President Bush said, "America will always stand for the nonnegotiable demands of human dignity, the rule of law, limits on the powers of the State, and respect for women," among other things. There is no more fitting way for this administration and this Senate to answer that demand than by moving quickly to ratify this treaty.

Senator Boxer, I want to commend both you for your efforts to make these hearings a reality and Chairman Biden, as the principal author of the Violence Against Women Act, for your sustained efforts to secure a national commitment to end violence against women across the country.

My message today is that this commitment should not stop at the water's edge. Particularly after September 11, the U.S. cannot be a world leader in guaranteeing progress for human rights -- whether in Afghanistan, in the United States, or around the world -- unless it is also a party to this treaty on women's rights.

You have heard about the background and history of the CEDAW. Let me simply reinforce Ambassador Kirkpatrick's request that we implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. That is precisely what this treaty is designed to do. It says in the Universal Declaration that everyone is entitled to the rights in the universal declaration "without distinction of any kind such as race, color, or sex," and it was for that reason that they moved to the drafting and ratification of this treaty.

So why should we ratify? For two reasons. First, ratification would make an important global statement regarding the seriousness of our commitment on these issues. Second, it would have a major impact on ensuring both the appearance and the reality that our national practices fully satisfy or exceed international standards.

Senator Brownback, you mentioned the things that occurred in Afghanistan when they had simply signed but not ratified CEDAW. Yet that is precisely the situation that we are now in. We have signed but not ratified CEDAW, and ratification is clearly the next step that we need to take. In response to Ambassador Kirkpatrick, I would say, it may well be that ratifying this treaty is not the whole answer, but it is certainly an important part of the answer.

You have heard about the provisions of the CEDAW. Let me say from my own experience at the State Department, where I supervised the production of annual country reports on human rights conditions worldwide, that a country's ratification of CEDAW is one of the strongest indicators of the strength of its commitment to internalize the norm of gender equality into domestic law. For us, to obey the treaty's provisions would not be burdensome, while countries with far less impressive records have, in fact, ratified the treaty, and these are countries we would never consider to be our equal on such matters.

From my time in the Government I can also say that our continuing failure to ratify the CEDAW has reduced our global standing; it has damaged our diplomatic relations, and it has hindered our ability to lead in the international human rights community. Nations that are otherwise our allies cannot understand why we have not taken this obvious step. Our European and Latin American allies in particular regularly question and criticize us for this both in public settings and in private diplomatic meetings. They have challenged our moral leadership on human rights, which is devastating after September 11; and perhaps most important, our exclusion from this treaty has provided anti-American diplomatic ammunition to countries who have exhibited far worse records on human rights generally and women's rights in particular. So, to persist in nonratification, I think, would be extremely damaging.

Will ratification help? As a recent comprehensive world survey issued by the U.N. Development Fund for Women chronicles, numerous countries around the world who have ratified CEDAW have found that it has helped to empower them to change their constitutions, to pass new laws, and influence court decisions. It would have the same effect here. Most fundamentally, ratification would further our national interest. You do not have to take my word for it. Secretary Powell put it well earlier this year when he said, "the worldwide advancement of women's issues is not only in keeping with the deeply held values of the American people, it is strongly in our national interest as well."

I have studied this treaty for many years. I have found nothing in it that even arguably jeopardizes our national interest. The provisions are entirely consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, both State and Federal. The U.S. can and should accept virtually all of the obligations without qualification. It seems to me, in fact, that the various understandings and reservations that have been proposed in the past are too extensive. Only one of them, regarding free speech, I think, is advisable to preserve the integrity of the treaty.

I can address quickly some of the fallacies that have been circulated about the likely impact of ratification. First, that CEDAW supports abortion rights. This is flatly untrue. There is no provision in CEDAW that mandates abortion or contraception on demand. CEDAW does not create an international right to abortion. The treaty itself is neutral on abortion, allowing policies in this area to be set by signatory States. Its goal is to ensure equal access to family planning information for men and women alike. In fact, some countries where abortion is illegal, among them Ireland, Rwanda, and Burkino Faso, have ratified CEDAW.

Second, the claim that CEDAW would somehow undermine the American family by redefining gender roles. It contains no provisions that seek to regulate any constitutionally protected interest and, as you know, the U.S. Constitution limits the Government's power to interfere in family matters.

Third, some have falsely suggested the ratification of CEDAW would require decriminalization of prostitution. Again, Article 6 specifically states that countries shall take all appropriate matters to suppress forms of trafficking in women and exploitation of prostitution in women. Some have suggested that ratification would require a legalization of same-sex marriage. Whatever view you may hold about this practice, it is clearly not contained in the treaty, which requires only elimination of discrimination against men and women alike.

Yes, Senator. In closing, let me say how much this means to every American. My mother came to this country from Korea, and is now a naturalized American citizen. My wife is an American-born citizen of Irish and British heritage, and my daughter, who will turn 16 years old in 10 days time, is a young American woman.

I cannot explain to my daughter why her grandmother and mother would be protected by CEDAW in their ancestral countries but she is not protected by it in the United States, which professes to be a world leader on gender equality. I cannot explain to her why the country that I served as Assistant Secretary for Human Rights has for so long failed to ratify the authoritative instrument on women's human rights, and finally, I cannot explain why we insist on keeping company with such non-ratifying countries as Iran, Sudan, and Syria, in which human rights and women's rights have been brutally repressed.

So our choice is simple. Our failure to ratify the treaty will undermine our efforts to fight for democracy and human rights worldwide. Ratification now would be both prudent foreign policy and simple justice.

Thank you for inviting me to appear before your committee today to testify regarding the long-overdue United States Ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW or Women's Convention). I have studied and argued for ratification of that Convention for more than a decade, first in my academic capacity as Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law (and from 1993-1998 as Director of the Orville H. Schell, Jr. Center for International Human Rights) at Yale Law School, where I have taught since 1985, and then from 1998 to 2001 when I served as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. \1\ -

In his State of the Union address, President George W. Bush recently announced that "America will always stand for the non- negotiable demands of human dignity: the rule of law; limits on the power of the state; respect for women; private property; free speech; equal justice; and religious tolerance" (emphasis added). I can imagine no more fitting way for this Administration and this Senate to answer that demand than by moving quickly to ratify this treaty for the rights of women.

I am particularly honored to appear here today in front of Senators who have been such strong advocates for gender equality over so many years. Senator Boxer, let me commend you for your efforts during these past several Congresses to make this hearing a reality, particularly by introducing S. Res. 237, which called not just for hearings on CEDAW ratification, but also for a date certain for Senate action. Let me equally commend you, Chairman Biden, as principal author of the Violence Against Women Act, for your sustained efforts to secure a national commitment to end violence and discrimination against women across this country.

My main message today is that this commitment should not stop at the water's edge. Particularly after September 11, America cannot be a world leader in guaranteeing progress for women's human rights, whether in Afghanistan, here in the United States, or around the world, unless it is also a party to the global women's treaty.

Let me first review the background and history of CEDAW; second, explain why ratifying that treaty would further our national commitments to eliminating gender discrimination, without jeopardizing our national interests; and third, explain why some concerns occasionally voiced about our ratification of this treaty are, upon examination, completely unfounded.

First, some history. The United Nations Charter reaffirms both the faith of the peoples of the United Nations "in the equal rights of men and women," Preamble, and their determination to promote respect for human rights "for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion." Art. 1(3). In 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights similarly declared that "everyone" is entitled to the rights declared there "without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, (or) sex . . . ." Art. 2. In 1975, a global call for an international convention specifically to implement those commitments emerged from the First World Conference on Women in Mexico City. But until 1979, when the General Assembly adopted the CEDAW, there was no convention that addressed comprehensively women's rights within political, social, economic, cultural, and family life. After years of drafting, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women in December 18, 1979, and the Convention entered into force in September 1981.

In the more than two decades since, 169 nations other than our own have become parties to the Convention. Only nineteen United Nations member states have not. That list includes such countries as Afghanistan, Bahrain, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. To put it another way, the United States is now the only established industrialized democracy in the world that has not yet ratified the CEDAW treaty. Frankly, Senators, this is a national disgrace for a country that views itself as a world leader on human rights.

Why should the United States ratify this treaty? For two simple reasons. First, ratification would make an important global statement regarding the seriousness of our national commitment to these issues. Second, ratification would have a major impact in ensuring both the appearance and the reality that our national practices fully satisfy or exceed international standards.

The CEDAW treaty has been accurately described as an international bill of rights for women. The CEDAW simply affirms that women, like the rest of the human race, have an inalienable right to live and work free of discrimination. The Convention affirms the rights of all women to exercise on an equal basis their "human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field." \2\ -

The treaty defines \3\ and condemns discrimination against women \4\ and announces an agenda for national action to end such discrimination. By ratifying the treaty, states do nothing more than commit themselves to undertaking "appropriate measures" \5\ toward ending discrimination against women, steps that our country has already begun in numerous walks of life. The CEDAW then lays a foundation for realizing equality between women and men in these countries by ensuring women's equal access to, and equal opportunities in, public and political life -- including the right to vote, to stand for election, \6\ to represent their governments at an international level, \7\ and to enjoy equal rights "before the law" \8\ -- as well as equal rights in education, \9\ employment, \10\ health care, \11\ marriage and family relations, \12\ and other areas of economic and social life. \13\ The Convention directs States Parties to "take into account the particular problems faced by rural women," \14\ and permits parties to take "temporary special measures aimed at accelerating de facto equality" between men and women, a provision analogous to one also found in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which our country has already ratified. \15\ -

Ratifying this treaty would send the world the message that we consider eradication of these various forms of discrimination to be solemn, universal obligations. The violent human rights abuses we recently witnessed against women in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Haiti, Kosovo, and Rwanda painfully remind us of the need for all nations to join together to intensify efforts to protect women's rights as human rights. At the State Department, where I supervised the production of the annual country reports on human rights conditions worldwide, I found that a country's ratification of the CEDAW is one of the surest indicators of the strength of its commitment to internalize the universal norm of gender equality into its domestic laws.

Let me emphasize that in light of our ongoing national efforts to address gender equality through state and national legislation, executive action, and judicial decisions, the legal requirements imposed by ratifying this treaty would not be burdensome. Numerous countries with far less impressive practices regarding gender equality than the United States have ratified the treaty, including countries whom we would never consider our equals on such matters, including Iraq, Kuwait, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia.

At the same time, from my direct experience as America's chief human rights official, I can testify that our continuing failure to ratify CEDAW has reduced our global standing, damaged our diplomatic relations, and hindered our ability to lead in the international human rights community. Nations that are otherwise our allies, with strong rule-of-law traditions, histories, and political cultures, simply cannot understand why we have failed to take the obvious step of ratifying this convention. In particular, our European and Latin American allies regularly question and criticize our isolation from this treaty framework both in public diplomatic settings and private diplomatic meetings.

Our nonratification has led our allies and adversaries alike to challenge our claim of moral leadership in international human rights, a devastating challenge in this post-September 11 environment. Even more troubling, I have found, our exclusion from this treaty has provided anti-American diplomatic ammunition to countries who have exhibited far worse record on human rights generally, and women's rights in particular. Persisting in the aberrant practice of nonratification will only further our diplomatic isolation and inevitably harm our other United States foreign policy interests.

Treaty ratification would be far more than just a paper act. The treaty has demonstrated its value as an important policy tool to promote equal rights in many of the foreign countries that have ratified the CEDAW. As a recent, comprehensive world survey issued by the United Nations Development Fund for Women chronicles, numerous countries around the world have experienced positive gains directly attributable to their ratification and implementation of the CEDAW. \16\ CEDAW has been empowering women around the globe to change constitutions, pass new legislation, and influence court decisions in their countries. Ratification of the CEDAW by the United States would similarly make clear our national commitment to ensure the equal and nondiscriminatory treatment of American women in such areas as civil and political rights, education, employment, and property rights -

Most fundamentally, ratification of CEDAW would further our national interests. Secretary of State Colin Powell put it well when he said earlier this year: "The worldwide advancement of women's issues is not only in keeping with the deeply held values of the American people; it is strongly in our national interest as well. . . . Women's issues affect not only women; they have profound implications for all humankind. Women's issues are human rights issues. . . . We, as a world community, cannot even begin to tackle the array of problems and challenges confronting us without the full and equal participation of women in all aspects of life."

After careful study, I have found nothing in the substantive provisions of this treaty that even arguably jeopardizes our national interests. Those treaty provisions are entirely consistent with the letter and spirit of the United States Constitution and laws, both state and federal. The United States can and should accept virtually all of CEDAW's obligations and undertakings without qualification. Regrettably, the Administration has not provided a witness here today to set forth its views on the ratification of this treaty. Although past Administrations have proposed that ratification be accompanied by certain reservations, declarations, and understandings, only one of those understandings, relating to limitations of free speech, expression and association, seems to me advisable to protect the integrity of our national law. \17\ -

First, that CEDAW supports abortion rights by promoting access to "family planning." This is flatly untrue. There is absolutely no provision in CEDAW that mandates abortion or contraceptives on demand, sex education without parental involvement, or other controversial reproductive rights issues. CEDAW does not create any international right to abortion. To the contrary, on its face, the CEDAW treaty itself is neutral on abortion, allowing policies in this area to be set by signatory states and seeking to ensure equal access for men and women to health care services and family planning information. In fact, several countries in which abortion is illegal -- among them Ireland, Rwanda, and Burkina Faso -- have ratified CEDAW.

A second fallacy is that CEDAW ratification would somehow undermine the American family by redefining traditional gender roles with regard to the upbringing of children. In fact, CEDAW does not contain any provisions seeking to regulate any constitutionally protected interests with respect to family life. The treaty only requires that parties undertake to adopt measures "prohibiting all discrimination against women" and to "embody the principle of the equality of men in women" in national laws "to ensure, through law and other appropriate means, the practical realization of this principle." How best to implement that obligation consistent with existing United States constitutional protections -- which as you know, limit the government's power to interfere in family matters, including most parental decisions regarding childrearing -- is left for each country to decide for itself.

Third, some have falsely suggested that ratification of CEDAW would require decriminalization of prostitution. Again, the text of the treaty is to the contrary. CEDAW's Article 6 specifically states that countries that have ratified CEDAW "shall take all appropriate measures, including legislation, to suppress all forms of traffic in women and exploitation of prostitution in women."

Fourth, some claim that if CEDAW were U.S. law, it would outlaw single-sex education and require censorship of school textbooks. In fact, nothing in CEDAW mandates abolition of single-sex education. As one way to encourage equal access to quality education for all children, Article 10 requires parties to take all appropriate measures to eliminate "any stereotyped concept of the roles of men and women at all levels and in all forms of education by encouraging [not requiring] coeducation and other types of education which will help to achieve this aim . . .," (emphasis added) including, presumably, single-sex education that teaches principles of gender equality. CEDAW also encourages the development of equal education material for students of both genders. This provision is plainly designed not to disrupt educational traditions in countries like ours, but rather, to address those many countries in the world (like Afghanistan during Taliban rule) in which educational facilities for girls are either nonexistent or remain separate and unequal.

Fifth, some have suggested that U.S. ratification of CEDAW would require the legalization of same-sex marriage. Whatever view one may hold regarding the desirability of same-sex marriage, this treaty plainly contains no such requirement. Article 10 of CEDAW requires only elimination of discrimination directed against women "in all matters related to marriage and family relations." Thus, for example, the practice of polygamy is inconsistent with the CEDAW because it undermines women's equality with men and potentially fosters severe financial inequities. Article 10 would neither require nor bar any national laws regarding same-sex marriage, which by their very nature, would apply equally to men and women.

Finally, and most pervasively, opponents of CEDAW have claimed that U.S. ratification would diminish our national sovereignty and states' rights by superseding or overriding our national, state or local laws. Given the broad compatibility between the treaty requirements and our existing national laws, however, very few occasions will arise in which this is even arguably an issue. Moreover, the treaty generally requires States to use "appropriate measures" to implement the non- discrimination principle, which by its terms accords some discretion to member countries to determine what is "appropriate" under the national circumstances. Finally, the Senate is, of course, free to address any material discrepancies between national law and the treaty by placing understandings upon its advice and consent, along the lines of the "freedom of speech" understanding discussed above, or by the Congress passing implementing legislation -- as it has done, for example, to effectuate the Genocide Convention -- specifying the precise ways in which the Federal legislature will carry out our international obligations under this treaty.
