Agreement between Countries 6 Letters

The text of the Multilateral Instrument (MLI) and its explanatory memorandum were developed in negotiations between more than 100 countries and countries and adopted on 24 November 2016 under a mandate given by the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors at their February 2015 meeting. The MLI and his explanatory memorandum were adopted in two equally authentic languages, English and French. 1. The offences referred to in Article 4 shall be considered as extraditable offences in any extradition treaty between States Parties. States Parties undertake to include such offences as extraditable offences in any extradition treaty to be concluded between them. 4. Such offences shall be treated, for the purposes of extradition between States Parties, as if they had been committed not only at the place where they were committed, but also in the territory of States which are required to establish their jurisdiction in accordance with article 5, paragraph 1. (b) any other convention, treaty or international convention in force in respect of that State. 1. Any dispute between two or more Contracting States concerning the interpretation or application of this Convention which cannot be settled by negotiation shall be submitted to arbitration at the request of one of them. If the Parties are unable to agree on the organization of the arbitration within six months of the date of the request for arbitration, one of those Parties may, upon request, refer the matter to the International Court of Justice in accordance with the Statute of the Court of Justice. The legal status of women receives the greatest attention.

Concerns about the human rights of political participation have not diminished since the adoption of the Convention on the Political Rights of Women in 1952. Its provisions are therefore set out in article 7 of that document, which guarantees women the right to vote, the exercise of public office and the exercise of public functions. This includes equal rights for women to represent their country at the international level (Article 8). The Convention on the Nationality of Married Women, adopted in 1957, is incorporated into article 9, which provides for the State status of women regardless of their marital status. The Convention thus emphasizes that the legal status of a woman is often linked to marriage, so that they depend on the nationality of her husband and not on an independent person. Articles 10, 11 and 13 reaffirm women`s right to non-discrimination in education, employment and economic and social activities. Particular importance is attached to these demands with regard to the situation of rural women, whose particular struggles and important economic contributions, as indicated in article 14, deserve greater attention in policy planning. Article 15 reaffirms the full equality of women in civil and commercial matters and calls for all instruments aimed at restricting women`s legal capacity to be „considered null and void”. Finally, article 16 of the Convention addresses the issue of conjugal and family relations and reaffirms the equal rights and obligations of women and men with regard to the choice of spouse, parenthood, human rights and the right to property.

The spirit of the Convention is rooted in the objectives of the United Nations: to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equality of men and women. This document describes the importance of equality and how it can be achieved. In this way, the Convention establishes not only an international bill of women`s rights, but also a programme of action for countries to ensure the enjoyment of these rights. Recognizing that a change in the traditional role of men and the role of women in society and in the family is necessary to achieve full equality between men and women, 1. The adoption by States Parties of temporary special measures to accelerate effective equality between men and women shall not be considered discrimination within the meaning of the present Convention, but shall in no case have the effect of maintaining unequal or distinct standards; such measures shall cease when the objectives of equal opportunities and equal treatment have been achieved. 3. When an investigation is conducted in accordance with paragraph 2 of this article, the Committee shall seek the cooperation of the State Party concerned. In agreement with that State Party, such an investigation may include a visit to its territory.

3. States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize among themselves such offences under the conditions provided for by the law of the requested State. (e) Equal opportunities for access to continuing education programmes, including adult and functional literacy programmes, in particular those aimed at reducing, as soon as possible, any gap in education between men and women; In addition to civil rights issues, the Convention also pays particular attention to an extremely important concern of women, namely their reproductive rights. The preamble sets the tone by stating that „the role of women in reproduction should not be a ground of discrimination”. The link between discrimination and the reproductive role of women is a recurring concern in the Convention. For example, in Article 5, it advocates „an adequate understanding of motherhood as a social function” and calls for a fully shared responsibility for the upbringing of children of both sexes. Accordingly, the provisions on maternity protection and child custody are proclaimed as essential rights and incorporated into all areas of the Convention, be it employment, family law, basic health or education. Society`s obligation also extends to the provision of social services, in particular childcare facilities, which enable individuals to reconcile family responsibilities with work and participation in public life. Special measures for maternity protection are recommended and „shall not be considered discriminatory”.

(Article 4). „The Convention also reaffirms women`s reproductive rights to choose. Remarkably, it is the only human rights treaty that mentions family planning. States parties are required to integrate family planning counselling into the educational process (article l O.h) and to develop family codes that guarantee the right of women to „decide freely and responsibly on the number and distance of their children and to have access to information, education and the means to exercise these rights” (article 16 (e)). . . .
