520 |a The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) articulates what has now become a global norm. CEDAW establishes the moral, civic, and political equality of women; women's right to be free from discrimination and violence; and the responsibility of governments to take positive action to achieve these goals. The United States is not among the 187 countries that have ratified the treaty. To explain why the United States has not ratified CEDAW, this book highlights the emergence of the treaty in the context of the Cold War, the deeply partisan nature of women's rights issues in the United States, and basic disagreements about how human rights treaties work. The only book on the market that examines why the United States has not ratified the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Analysis of CEDAW specifically addresses the international relations literature on the adoption and ratification of treaties, which predicted that the United States should have ratified CEDAW long ago. It highlights the US role in international struggles for women's rights and reveals new information on the international dimension of struggles for women's rights within the United States. -- Provided by publisher.
