- Recommendation
The RMI is a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The Women in Development Office and the Child Rights Office have been set up under the Ministry of Internal Affairs to implement the provisions of both conventions and ensure the fulfillment of RMI's obligation. The RMI submitted its initial country report as well as its 2nd Periodic Report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, but has yet to do so with respect to CEDAW. Although the RMI has ratified only 2 of the core human rights conventions, it is envisaged that the RMI will be in a better position to ratify other conventions. The fact of the matter is, however, that due to capacity and resource constraints, full implementation of the 2 human rights conventions ratified thus far has been difficult already. In the same token, it should be noted that where the construction of a written law is open to more than one interpretation, an interpretation which is consistent with the RMI's international obligations will be preferred. The goal to ratify other human rights conventions remains nevertheless.
