By adopting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Dec 10, 1948, the relatively small UN family of 56 states concretized their belief in the "equal rights of men and women." But despite the charter's noble commitment to upholding the inherent dignity of every human being, the UN General Assembly noticed that women continued to lag behind men in their enjoyment of economic, social, cultural, political and civil rights. This realization led the UN in 1979 to adopt the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. In order to effectively integrate women into mainstream trade policies, policymakers must fully understand the economic implications of the Convention and engage in a "constructive dialogue" with gender experts. To end marginalization of women ...

The admittance of amicus curiae briefs in the US-Shrimp/Turtle dispute in 1998 stirred a debate among WTO Member States whether the dispute settlement procedure should be accessible for private individuals and entities. Developing countries firmly opposed the inclusion of amid curiae into the Disupute Settlement Understanding (DSU) and repeated their arguments frequently in cases leading to amicus submissions, fearing a further shift of power in favour of developed countries and changes in the nature of the dispute settlement system. The present article examines these concerns in light of the experience made with amicus submissions in 21 disputes. It will be argued that most of the fears expressed by developing countries are ungrounded and often base on wrong assumptions.

In recent years, the idea that development is solely a matter for governments has been replaced by a clear recognition of the role of both the private sector and civil society. The UN Global Compact has played a pioneering role in encouraging PPPs. UNESCO's 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions enshrines the principle of PPPs in the cultural sector. In addition, through its Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity launched in 2001, UNESCO has explored many different facets of PPPs in support of cultural industry projects in developing countries. UNESCO's experience in fostering PPPs for the cultural and creative industries shows that they should be seen as investments in human development rather than mere subsidies.
