Within the framework of the work plan for the current biennium, specifically action 2 (Research agenda and action), activity 1 (Role of culture and social institutions), the Sector for Social and Human Sciences is preparing a number of studies on the interface between family laws in the Middle East and North Africa and the global women’s rights agenda. The studies examine the extent to which the family laws converge with or diverge from international human rights and women’s rights instruments, in particular the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. These studies also highlight remaining gaps in those family laws that have seen wide-ranging amendments (e.g., Tunisia) or reform (e.g., Morocco), such as the continuing problem of mixed marriages (that is, inadequate rights of the non-Muslim spouse) and of unequal inheritance. One paper, written by an external consultant, examines family laws in Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Two other papers, written by interns under the direction of the GED chief, examine the family laws in the Islamic Republic of Iran and in the Arab countries of the Levant. The reform of family laws and the removal of reservations to the Convention are key objectives of women’s rights advocates in countries such as Algeria and Lebanon.
