The impact of reservations to CEDAW under the OP CEDAW
The Committee has stated that Articles 2 and 16 are core provisions of the treaty and as such reservations against them are incompatible with the spirit and purpose of the Convention and thus invalid reservations. As such, the Committee will still consider a states obligations under these articles in the reporting process and in deciding cases under the OP CEDAW. The Committee is currently discussing the impact of reservations to other articles of CEDAW under the OP CEDAW and will likely follow the precedent of the Human Rights Committee which enables the Committee to decide if it will consider a case relating to articles which are subject to reservations.
