    Abstract:
    Resolution 44/73 of the UN General Assembly concerns the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of discrimination against Women, December 8, 1989. It begins with acknowledgements that one of the purposes of the UN is to promote universal respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction of any kind, including distinction as to sex; it notes the emphasis placed by the "World Conference to Review and Appraise the Achievements of the UN Decade for Women: Equality, Development and Peace" on the ratification of and accession to the Convention and acknowledges the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention. After noting that the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women agreed to take due account of the different cultural and socio-economic systems of States parties to the Convention, the Resolution welcomes the ratification of or accession to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women by an increasing number of Member States, and offers a series of recommendations to further its goals, including the proposals of the Secretary-General for full funding of the Committee, and requests that the program budget for 1990-1991 provide for attendance at all the Committee's meetings by relevant professional staff from the Division for the Advancement of Women of the Center for Social Development and Humanitarian Affairs of the Secretariat, legal staff experts in human rights treaty implementation and adequate secretarial staff, and for the necessary facilities for the effective functioning of the Committee in order to enable it to carry out its mandate as efficiently as the human rights treaty bodies.
