The UN group that oversees the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Descrimation Against Women (CEDAW) continues to pressure countries with significant legal restrictions on abortion. In recent meetings, the group recently probed represantives from Dominica, Armenia, Haiti, Cameroon, Libya, Rwanda, Germany, and Guatemala. The CEDAW document does not list restrictive abortion laws as a form of discrimination against women.
The United States has not formally ratified CEDAW. There is pressure to do so.
