Eliminating discrimination against women in political and public life with a focus on political transition 2013, para. 83
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Constitutional guarantees of gender equality will be operative only if there is provision for effective judicial review of legislative and governmental action and women are empowered to process their claim for equality through the courts. Beyond State courts, the possibility of recourse to international and regional mechanisms opens access to interpretation of the constitutional provisions in line with the international and regional State obligation to respect, protect and fulfil women's right to equality.
