Development of the Category "Women's Rights" in the Texts of International Legal Acts ; Формирование категории «права женщин» в текстах международно-правовых актов
The given publication presents a study of enshrining and development of the category of "women's rights" in the current system of international legal acts. The authors emphasize the key role of the United Nations in ensuring and protecting women's rights. Therefore, the norm-setting function of the UN is of general importance for the implementation of the policy of gender equality and the protection of women's rights. On the basis of a hermeneutic analysis of conventional acts, an attempt is made to show the positions of the international legislator regarding the content of the category "women's rights" and the closely related concept of "gender equality". Having made an attempt at a terminological analysis of the definitions under study, the authors have shown that, doctrinally, the international legislator has not considered women's rights in isolation from those of men and provided for the arrangement of equal identical rights of both sexes. It has been found that in the 1950s specialized regulations for the development of the concept of "women's rights" were actively developed and adopted. Of particular importance is the Convention on the Political Rights of Women adopted by the UN General Assembly. As a result, the article states that progress in defining the concept and content of "women's rights" proceeded evolutionarily. Conventions and pacts in this area were progressively adopted, women were given equal rights with men. On the way to achieving gender equality on the global scale, international acts ordered states to bind the principles of equal rights for men and women in their constitutions and current legislation. ; В рамках представленной публикации проводится исследование механизмов закрепления и развития категории «права женщин» в действующей системе международно-правовых актов.
