Unequal before the law

Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
Interesting to read this new development at the end of the above UN news article

...there is strong support for a new mechanism to ensure that States are fulfilling their commitments on women’s rights. Discussions are now underway to decide if a special rapporteur, an independent expert, a working group or some other mechanism would be best suited to the task.

Current UN human rights mechanisms on women include a CEDAW committee, an Optional Protocol, and a Special Rapporteur on violence against women.
