Despite the large number of reservations registered by Member countries, making it one of the, if not the, most heavily reserved human rights treaties; the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has managed to achieve a very high rate of states‟ membership [1]. Currently, 187 countries out of the 193 United Nations Members are parties to CEDAW [2]. What is strange to digest, however, is the fact that the United States is one of the seven countries that are yet to ratify the Convention [3]. This article provides an insight into the position of the United States from the ratification of CEDAW. It examines the merits of arguments made for and against the ratification and their rationale to provide a better understanding that explains what is considered by many as a buzzling stand of the United States from the Convention.

美国眼中的《消除对妇女歧视公约》

尽管会员国登记的保留意见很多，但使它成为（如果不是）保留最严重的人权条约之一；《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》（CEDAW）取得了很高的国家会员率[1]。目前，在193个联合国会员国中，有187个国家加入了《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》 [2]。然而，令人感到奇怪的是，美国是尚未批准该公约的七个国家之一[3]。本文从批准《消除对妇女歧视公约》的角度提供了美国立场的见解。
