This paper will study United Arab Emirates commitment to the Convention on elimination of all form of discrimination against women (CEDAW). This will be done through an analysis of United Arab Emirates report to the CEDAW committee which will examine which of liberal- radical- or socialist feminist is prevailing in their report. The paper will then continue to examine their reservations of articles 2(f) and 16 of the convention, that contains the object and purpose of the convention, in relation to their report and how the situation is in the country. This is to examine how truthful and committed the United Arab Emirates are in CEDAW report.
This study will use a descriptive analysis with idea critical approach, along with ideal types as an analytical tool. The ideal types that will be used are distinctions of liberal- radical- and socialist feminism. This study shows that United Arab Emirates have a predominant liberal feminist distinction. The analysis of their reservations to the two articles in relation to the report and to the situation in the country shows that United Arab Emirates are not entirely forthcoming in their report.
