Conference of European Statisticians
Some 65 countries come together at the Conference of European Statisticians (CES) to drive statistical work in the UNECE region and beyond. The Conference:
- Relies on the vision and advice of the Bureau which steers all CES activities.
- Endorses guidelines, recommendations and standards developed by networks of experts.
- Takes stock of good practices and reviews emerging issues in statistics.
The UNECE Statistical Division provides the Secretariat to the joint work of the CES members.
The efforts made over the years to examine and improve official statistics have developed this international statistical body into a knowledge hub which has produced many guidelines, sets of recommendations and standards for worldwide use.
Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women
The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is the body of independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. The CEDAW Committee consists of 23 experts on women's rights from around the world.
The CEDAW treaty is a tool that helps women around the world to bring about change in their daily life. In countries that have ratified the treaty, CEDAW has proved invaluable in opposing the effects of discrimination, which include violence, poverty, and lack of legal protections, along with the denial of inheritance, property rights, and access to credit.
