Concluding observations of the Committee on the Discrimination against women- United Arab Emirates
Abstract
This document presents the concluding observations of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women on the fifth periodic report of United Arab Emirates. The Committee expresses its appreciation for the initial report of the State party, although it does not fully comply with the Committee’s guidelines for the preparation of initial reports, lacks references to the Committee’s general recommendations, as well as some statistical data, and was overdue. The Committee also welcomes the State party’s written replies to the list of issues and questions raised by its pre-session working group and the oral presentation and responses to the questions posed by the Committee, which together provided further insights into the situation of women in the State party and the implementation of the rights contained in the Convention
