International regulation framework regarding the elimination of discrimination against women

Abstract

The paper overivews international conventions focused on eliminating the discrimination of women. Particular attention is paid on the progresses registered by Romania in this respect. The existing institutional building and legislative framework support implementation of the assumed responsibilities. The monitoring and evaluation of women's situation in Romania is still lacking, as the last progress report was subbmitted in 2003. Political long-term commitement in this direction could improve the current situation especially from the women's state of affaires monitoring point of view.
