Abstract
The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women Reservations and Objections of Committed States (CEDAW ROCS) dataset provides a rich source of information about the United Nations CEDAW treaty from 1979 to 2022. For the first time, all the signatories, ratifiers, reservations, and objections to CEDAW, quantitatively are visible in one place. The dataset provides details about which states objected to which types of CEDAW reservations, when states withdrew CEDAW reservations, and the most prevalent reservations on CEDAW to date. The data are available in country year format. This research note discusses the motivation for the creation of this dataset and discusses coding decisions for key variables. Descriptive statistics and illustrations of the data are provided. The dataset's capabilities for current human rights and international law scholars are also discussed.
