of the term “all men” rather than a gender-neutral term.1 The Declaration

A. INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTRUMENTS
After the adoption of the Universal Declaration, the Commission on Human
Rights began drafting two human rights treaties, the International Covenant
on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights. Together with the Universal Declaration, these
make up the International Bill of Human Rights. The provisions of the two
Covenants, as well as other human rights treaties, are legally binding on
the States that ratify or accede to them. States that ratify these treaties
periodically report to bodies of experts, which issue recommendations
on the steps required to meet the obligations laid out in the treaties.
These treaty-monitoring bodies also provide authoritative interpretations
of the treaties and, if States have agreed, they also consider individual
complaints of alleged violations.2
Both Covenants use the same wording to prohibit discrimination based
on, inter alia, sex (art. 2), as well as to ensure the equal right of men
and women to the enjoyment of all rights contained in them (art. 3). The
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights guarantees, among
other rights, the right to life, freedom from torture, freedom from slavery,
the right to liberty and security of the person, rights relating to due process
in criminal and legal proceedings, equality before the law, freedom of
movement, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of
association, rights relating to family life and children, rights relating to
citizenship and political participation, and minority groups’ rights to their
culture, religion and language. The International Covenant on Economic,
