1. Mission has received a note from the Permanent Mission of
the Republic of Benin to the United Nations requesting USG
support for the candidature of Hugette Bokpe-Gnacadja for
re-election to the Committee on the Elimination of
Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) for the term 2007-2010.
The elections will be held during the meeting of States
Parties to the Convention, in June 2006, in New York.


2. Mission will respond that since the United States is not
a party to the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of
Discrimination against Women, the United States cannot
participate in the election.
