This article looks at the success and limitations of the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The authors argue that one must not rely wholly on international agreement to promote women's rights. The Convention has a weak enforcement mechanism, and there have been problems in the implementation process. Some recommendations which touch on its supervisory and enforcement mechanisms are made and implications for social work practice are discussed
