Report to ARCC on the meetings of the twenty-first AD-HOC Inter-agency meeting on women and the fortieth session of the commission on the status of women

Abstract

A mission to New York was undertaken from 7 to 22 March 1996. The objective of the mission was to participate in the annual meetings of the Ad-hoc Interagency meeting on Women and the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). The twenty-first meeting of the Ad hoc Inter-agency Meeting on Women was held from 6 to 8 March and the fortieth session of the Commission of the Status of Women was held from 11 to 22 March 1996 both at New York. This report is therefore presented in two parts. Part one highlights the outcome of the Inter-agency meeting while part two presents issues and decisions reached at the fortieth session of the Commission on the Status of Women.
