In addition, the US and Palau are signatories but not state parties, meaning they have intent to look at the treaty but are not obliged to implement laws. Some countries who are state parties to the treaty have identified some parts that they reserve their right to not abide by[3], which can obviously undermine elements of the treaty.\n\n[1]  [UN OHCHR (choose UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women from the dropdown menu)](https:\u002F\u002Findicators.ohchr.org\u002F)  \n[2]  [UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ohchr.org\u002FDocuments\u002FProfessionalInterest\u002Fcedaw.pdf)  \n[3]  [UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women - Declarations and reservations](https:\u002F\u002Ftreaties.un.org\u002FPages\u002FViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=IV-8&chapter=4&lang=en#63)  \n[4]  [OHCHR Metadata: Status of ratification of a core international human rights treaty or its optional protocol](https:\u002F\u002Findicators.ohchr.org\u002FStock\u002FDocuments\u002FMetadataRatificationStatus_Dashboard.pdf)\n","If people think there is no legal protection for the rights of women it can create an impression that women’s rights are not considered in any way in many countries. Almost all countries say they agree with the convention to eliminate discrimination against women. This fact should in no way be used to trivialize the gender inequality that still exists in most countries. It is problematic if people believe the problem is missing political conventions. That leads focus away from the actual fact: that these conventions are not turned into reality.\n\n### Why is it a problem that people are wrong about this?\n\nIn a world where many women don’t have the same rights as men in practice it may seem hypocritical to pay attention to international conventions as they are obviously not followed, even after being signed. But the struggle to get this convention signed has taken many years, and the purpose is to take the first steps towards more gender equality. Now that most countries have signed, it's easier to hold governments accountable for not improving the necessary laws and law enforcement so that the rights agreed upon in the convention become rights also in reality.\n\n### Why are people wrong about this?\nWe live in a world where women very often don't have the same rights as men, in practice. It’s hard to imagine that almost all countries have signed UN declarations promising to remove such inequalities. \n\n### Which countries have not signed this convention?\n188 countries have ratified the treaty. Two have signed it, but not ratified it: USA and Palau. Five have not signed nor ratified it: Iran, the Holy See, Somalia, Sudan and Tonga. Some countries who have ratified the treaty have identified some parts that they reserve their right to not abide by, which can obviously undermine elements of the treaty. More than 80 such cases are [listed here](https:\u002F\u002Ftreaties.un.org\u002FPages\u002FViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=IV-8&chapter=4&clang=_en) \n\n### Can I trust this data?\nYes. It comes directly from the UN and it is updated every six months or after a new country ratifies the convention.
