On April 23, 2014, the U.N. Secretary-General confirmed receipt of Tunisia’s notification of withdrawal of its declaration and reservations with regard to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. The Tunisian government stipulated in the letter “that it shall not take any organizational or legislative decision in conformity with the requirements of this Convention where such a decision would conflict with the provisions of chapter I of the Tunisian Constitution.” Tunisia ratified the Convention on September 20, 1985.
