> HEADLINE: Womens' Delegates Reach Agreement
> BYLINE: EDITH M. LEDERER
>
> Delegates from 180 countries reached agreement this morning on a new
> U.N. plan to accelerate progress toward women's equality after an
> all-night debate over abortion, sexual rights and other key issues.
>
> ''It was absolutely worth it,'' said U.N. Assistant Secretary-General
> Angela King, a special adviser on the advancement of women. ''I feel
> that all those millions of women who are looking at us are totally
> vindicated, and they have something to grasp to assist them for their
> battles for equality.''
>
> The new document reaffirms the 150-page platform for action adopted at a
> landmark 1995 U.N. women's conference and moves forward with tougher
> measures to combat domestic violence and trafficking in women, and
> tackle the impact on women of HIV/AIDS and globalization.
>
> But attempts to move beyond Beijing on the contentious issues of
> abortion failed and proposed references to sexual rights and sexual
> orientation were dropped from the final text by delegates meeting in
> committee.
>
> The final text maintains language from Beijing on women's reproductive
> and sexual health.
>
> ''I'm very happy that the dire predictions that there would be a
> rollback of Beijing have proven false,'' King said. ''Instead for all
> the world to see, we have a very strong document which not only
> reaffirms Beijing and other relevant conferences on human rights and
> social development but also moves forward.''
>
> The agreement was reached shortly after 5 a.m. and delegates were told
> to return two hours later to wrap up the conference. But when they
> arrived many not having slept U.N. officials informed them that the
> General Assembly session to formally approve the document by consensus
> was delayed further because translators needed more time.
>
> During the night, several issues were resolved including a dispute
> between the United States and Cuba over the effect of U.S. sanctions
> against the communist island nation on Cuban women.
>
> The final text calls on governments to set a target date of 2005 to
> eliminate the gender gap in primary and secondary education. It also
> moves ''substantially beyond Beijing in the roles men and boys can play
> to achieve gender equality,'' King said.
>
> Delegates also agreed on strong planks calling for prosecution of all
> forms of domestic violence, now including marital rape. The traditional
> practices of forced marriage and honor killings are addressed for the
> first time in an international consensus document, with the draft text
> calling for laws to eradicate these human rights violations.
>
> Many of the issues that stalled negotiations here also dominated the
> Beijing conference sexual rights, sexual orientation, abortion, sex
> education for adolescents and family values.
>
> After a lengthy fight in Beijing, references to sexual orientation which
> the Vatican and several Islamic and Catholic countries vehemently oppose
> were dropped from the platform.
>
> The term ''sexual rights'' was never included in the Beijing platform,
> though it does state that women have the right to ''decide freely and
> responsibly on matters related to their sexuality ... free of coercion,
> discrimination and violence.''
>
> Conservative activists fear that sexual rights could be broadly
> interpreted as condoning homosexuality.
>
> The battle lines for the current conference known as Beijing Plus Five
> mirrored those at Beijing: the Vatican and a handful of Islamic and
> Catholic countries against the West and hundreds of pro-Beijing women's
> rights activists.
>
> Cuba and the United States, meanwhile, clashed for days over Havana's
> insistence on referring to the negative effect of U.S. sanctions,
> especially on women and girls.
>
> King said the dispute was settled early today when both countries agreed
> to compromise language taken from a previous U.N. conference. It notes
> that ''in some countries, advancement of women is adversely affected by
> unilateral measures not in accordance with international law ... that
> create obstacles to trade relations among states.''
>
> Several organizations issued a joint statement registering
> disappointment with the final document but reaffirming their commitment
> to work for implementation of the Beijing platform.
>
> ''We regret that there was not enough political will on the part of some
> governments and the U.N. system to agree on a stronger document with
> more concrete benchmarks, numerical goals, time-bound targets,
> indicators, and resources aimed at implementing the Beijing platform,''
> said the statement, which was issued by the Center for Women's Global
> Leadership at Rutgers University and the Women's Environment and
> Development Organization.

> 2000)
>
> As women from around the world who have been active in the "Beijing + 5"
> Review process nationally, regionally, and internationally, we re-commit
> ourselves to working for implementation of the Beijing Platform for
> Action and for the advancement of the human rights of all women.  While
> there have been positive aspects to this review process, we want to

> have fought to defend and advance commitments to women.  However, we
> regret that there was not enough political will on the part of some
> governments and the UN system to agree on a stronger document with more
> concrete benchmarks, numerical goals, time-bound targets, indicators,
> and resources aimed at implementing the Beijing Platform.
>
> Still, some important steps were taken. First and foremost, the
> Political Declaration reaffirms that governments have the responsibility
> to implement the Beijing Platform for Action, and thus, the platform
> remains the reference point for governmental commitment to women's
> rights in all 12 critical areas of concern.  Some of the other areas
> advanced in the document are outlined below.
>
> We will continue to utilize the Beijing Platform as well as other world
> conference documents and reviews in our work for women's empowerment and
> rights. We will also work to hold governments accountable to the
> Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against
> Women (which 165 countries have ratified), the Universal Declaration of
> Human Rights, and all other human rights treaties and standards.  These
> instruments entail binding obligations on government signatories to
> respect, promote, protect, and fulfill the human rights of women and
> girls, many of which are elaborated in the Platform for Action.  The
> commitments contained in all these documents are universal, inalienable
> and indivisible.
>
> The Beijing + 5 review provided opportunity and space for public
> assessment and discussion of the critical areas of concern. As a result,
> we have been able to air important issues locally and globally.  Many
> governments have made reports on what they are doing to implement the
> platform, and women's NGOs have produced over 100 alternative reports
> engaging in public debate about what still needs to be done.  Some of
> the regional meetings for this review resulted in documents which women
> can use to advance women's rights nationally and regionally.  Even the
> obstacles that we have encountered in this review have taught us what we
> need to do to improve the current political climate in the world and to
> counter the intransigent minority who still oppose women's rights. And
> as always, women have taken this space to network and share experiences
> and strategies across cultural, racial, national and other boundaries.
>
> It is women's movements that have placed women's empowerment and rights
> on the world's agenda over the past 25 years.  Once more women have come
> to this review in record numbers as we did for the World Conference in
> Beijing.  And it is women who will continue to take the leadership in
> working for these goals.   We will not be turned back.  We welcome
> support and partnership with men, with governments, the United Nations
> and other institutions as we continue the struggle to realize economic
> justice and all human rights for all women in all our diversity in the
> next decade.
