From the Paper:

"The issue of Women's Rights has, today, become extremely important and relevant, and everywhere, all over the world, women are demanding for their rights, and everywhere, women are indeed getting empowered by the laws that grant them these rights and make it possible for women to have a certain degree of power and independence and human rights. As far as International Law is concerned, the issue of women's rights has become an extremely interesting as well as an exciting and fast developing field of activity that deals with international human rights and their protection through laws. Treatise can be defined as the international equivalent explanation for 'legislation', and all major multinational treaties generally occupy a high place in the hierarchy of all legal authorities, depending on that particular domestic law of the state that it belongs to."
