Discussion
Arrange the following Human Rights Conventions in the order of their adoption :
(i) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
(ii) Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
(iii) Convention on the Rights of Child.
(iv) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Codes :
Answer: C
The ICCPR was adopted in 1966, CEDAW in 1979, the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989 and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2006. So the order is (i), (ii), (iii), (iv).
Options A and D place the disability convention or the child convention first, and option B places CEDAW before the ICCPR, so all contradict the dates. A useful memory aid is that the sequence runs 1966, 1979, 1989 and 2006, so the later conventions follow the earlier ones.
