other violations of women’s human rights in situations of war and armed conflict, such as the systematic practice of rape and abuse as a tactic of war; rape, sexual molestation and torture by security and armed forces; and rape, torture and murder in detention. The Working Group also took note of alleged cases of discriminatory treatment of female babies and rape and abuse of migrant women workers. "6. From the summary of non-confidential communications, the Working Group took note of alleged cases of violence against women; and noted the lack of women in decision-making, particularly as regards war and conflict resolution. The Working Group also took note of communications relating to the right to inheritance and ownership of land and property. "7. Having considered the above-mentioned communications, the Working Group noted that some recurring trends could be clearly identified, namely different forms of violence against women and violation of their human rights, particularly in situations of armed conflict and war. "8. The Working Group expressed appreciation to the Governments for having sent in replies conducive to the clarification of the respective cases; it noted, however, that some Governments had not replied and suggested that the Commission encourage all Governments concerned to cooperate in order to make the communications mechanism more effective. "9. The Working Group emphasized that the communications procedure of the Commission on the Status of Women was not sufficient and, therefore, not effective. In that regard, the Working Group recommended that the Commission’s communications procedure be further improved." -88-
