Primary source
The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination① against Women (CEDAW) was adopted by UN General Assembly resolution 34/180 on 18 December 1979 and entered into force on 3 September 1981. Article 1 defines discrimination against women as any distinction, exclusion or restriction on the basis of sex impairing women's enjoyment of human rights. Article 2 requires States Parties to embody the principle of equality in their constitution and legislation②, adopt laws prohibiting discrimination with sanctions, establish legal protection through tribunals, and repeal discriminatory laws. Article 3 obliges States to take all appropriate measures, including legislation, to ensure the full development and advancement③ of women in political, social, economic and cultural fields.
대한민국은 1984년 12월 27일 CEDAW를 비준하여 1985년 1월부터 국내법과 같은 효력을 가졌다(헌법 제6조 제1항). 협약 제2·3조의 입법·정책 의무는 「여성발전기본법」(법률 제5136호, 1995. 12. 30. 제정, 1996. 7. 1. 시행)으로 처음 구체화되었고, 이를 전부개정하여 「양성평등기본법」(법률 제12698호, 2014. 5. 28. 공포, 2015. 7. 1. 시행)으로 발전하였다. 소관부처는 여성가족부이다. 동법 제1조는 「대한민국헌법」의 양성평등 이념 실현과 정치·경제·사회·문화 모든 영역에서의 양성평등 실현을 목적으로 규정하고, 제3조에서 '양성평등' 정의를 신설하였으며, 제7조는 여성가족부장관이 5년마다 양성평등정책기본계획③을 수립하도록, 제10조는 양성평등 실태조사 근거를 두고 있다. 한국은 비준 당시 협약 제9조 및 제16조 제1항 (c)·(d)·(f)·(g)호를 유보하였으나, 차별적 국내법 개정에 따라 1995년 (c)·(d)·(f)호 유보를 철회하였고, 부부의 성(姓)·직업 선택의 평등권에 관한 제16조 제1항 (g)호(국내 민법 제781조 제1항 자녀의 성씨 결정 문제와 연계) 유보만 현재까지 존치하고 있다.

UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW; adopted 18 Dec 1979; in force 3 Sep 1981; ROK ratified 1984)
CEDAW Articles 2 and 3 oblige states parties to embody the principle of equality of men and women in national legislation and to take all appropriate measures, including legislation, to ensure the full development and advancement of women.
Article 11 of Korea's Framework Act on Gender Equality lists, among the Gender Equality Committee's deliberation matters, 'monitoring the implementation of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and other women-related international treaties concluded by the Republic of Korea'; Article 40 requires the government to submit the CEDAW implementation report — an explicit statutory reference to the treaty.
