  UNITED NATIONS, June 4, 2002 (LSN.ca) – The United Nations’ Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women met yesterday to commence a three-week session during which it will review reports from various countries on adherence to the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women.  The session which will run until June 21, will consider reports from Suriname, the Republic of Congo, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Belgium, Tunisia, Zambia, Ukraine and Denmark.  The committee has traditionally been known to pester countries which have ratified the document to adhere to the committee’s interpretation of the document.  In the past the committee has urged countries to decriminalize abortion, cater to homosexuality, mandate sex education to minors, and foster other radical feminist agenda items.  See the UN report on the meeting:  https://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2002/wom1338.doc.htm
