Home News Releases About HRW Contribute ... Contact Us Non-Discrimination in Civil Marriage: Perspectives from International Human Rights Law and Practice A Human Rights Watch Briefing Paper Printer Friendly - PDF, 5 pages Many people take for granted that their government will acknowledge their relationships of love and care. Yet some relationships are arbitrarily denied that recognition. The results may be devastating. A partner may be denied the rights to share equal rights and equal responsibilities for children in their care; have their partner covered under their health or employment benefits; apply for immigration and residency if their partner is from another country; file joint tax returns and enjoy tax benefits for couples, obtain joint insurance policies, or even rent or own property together; obtain a protection order against domestic violence; get a fair settlement of property when the relationship ends; inherit from a deceased partner if he lacked a valid will; obtain pension benefits if the partner dies. In countries that deny same-sex partners access to marriage, such systemic inequalities are still routinely tolerated. In this briefing paper, Human Rights Watch looks at this inequality through the lens of international human rights law and practice.

A Model for Today's International Civil Servant By David K. J. Jeffrey Print Home In This Issue Archive Français ... Links Perspective "I am a professional optimist", Ralph Bunche told journalists at Nicosia International Airport at the conclusion of a visit in July 1966 to view the peacekeeping operations in Cyprus. "If I were not a professional optimist through 21 years in the United Nations service, mainly in conflict areas-Palestine, Congo, here and in Kashmir-I would be crazy. You have to be optimistic in this work or get out of it.  That is, optimistic in the sense of assuming that there is no problem-Cyprus or any other-which cannot be solved, and that, therefore, you have to keep at it persistently and you have to have confidence that it can be solved."1 Widely hailed, among his many accomplishments, as a great international civil servant, American and citizen of the world, Ralph Johnson Bunche's life story is one full of inspiration to all engaged in the pursuit of peace. As a year-long programme marking the 100th anniversary of his birth in Detroit, Michigan, commences to celebrate and build upon the legacy of this diplomat, scholar and internationalist, it is timely for the current staff of the United Nations, to which Ralph Bunche devoted 25 years of his spectacular career, to reflect on one of its most famous and optimistic alumni. A visible reminder of the esteem with which he is regarded within the United Nations and the City of New York is the Ralph Bunche Park located directly opposite the UN Secretariat building.

State Parties A country which accedes to or ratifies the ICCPR is called a "state party." States parties are obliged to guarantee the rights in the covenant, on a nondiscriminatory basis, to all individuals on its territory and to take the necessary steps to bring domestic legislation in compliance with the provisions of the covenant. As of October 1997, 140 countries around the world were state parties to the ICCPR. To see full list of State Parties Reservations States which become parties to the ICCPR may make reservations to specific articles of the covenant. Reservations intend to limit the degree to which a state has to guarantee a particular right. The possibility of entering reservations may encourage ratification by states which consider themselves not yet in a position to fully guarantee a particular right. An example is a reservation made by Barbados:
