Joe Biden

Mr. President, nearly two decades ago, President Carter submitted to the Senate the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, known in shorthand as the "Womens' Convention." In the two decades since then, the Committee on Foreign Relations has acted on the Convention only once. In 1994, the Committee voted to report the treaty by a strong majority of 13 to 5. Unfortunately, the 103rd Congress ended before the full Senate could act on the Convention.

It is a great mystery to me that a treaty that calls for the international promotion of civil and human rights for women would not be considered by the Senate.

Joe Biden

Over 160 nations have become party to this treaty, which entered into force in 1981. To its great discredit, the United States stands outside this treaty with a just handful of other nations.

Joe Biden

There is hardly anything revolutionary about this treaty. It contains a specific set of obligations calling on member states to enact legal prohibitions on discrimination against women -- prohibitions which, in large part, the United States has already enacted.

In fact, if the United States becomes a party to the treaty, we would not need to make any changes to U.S. law in order to comply with the treaty.

Joe Biden

Joe Biden

Second, this Senate has frequently entered reservations in ratifying human rights treaties in the 1980s and 1990s -- such as the Convention on Torture, the Convention on Racial Discrimination, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

In unanimously approving each of these treaties, the Senate imposed numerous reservations and understandings on U.S. ratification. In approving the Race Convention, for example, the Senate added three reservations, one understanding, and one condition.

Joe Biden

Did we "cheapen the coin" of the Race Convention in doing so? The answer is no, because in entering these reservations we did not undermine the central purpose of the treaty -- to require nations to outlaw racial discrimination.

The second objection registered by the five senators who voted against the Convention in 1994 is that joining the treaty was not the "best use" of our government's "energies" in promoting the human rights of women around the world.

This is a rather remarkable objection. What this group of senators was saying, in short, is that we should reserve our resources -- and only promote human rights for women at certain times and in certain places.

I would hope that every senator would agree that we should promote equal rights for women at every opportunity -- not when it suits us or when where it is the "best use" of our "energies." Advancing human rights and human liberty -- for women and for everyone else -- is a never- ending struggle.

Of course, the United States has a powerful voice, and we do not need to be a party to this Convention in order to speak out on womens' rights. But we should join this Convention so we can be heard within the councils of the treaty.
