註釋Since 1998, six cities in the United States have adopted legally binding CEDAW ordinances and more than twenty other localities have adopted non-binding resolutions in support of CEDAW. Human rights advocates in the United States are increasingly turning to local implementation of international human rights to specifically remedy the absence of adequate federal policies to comprehensively combat and prevent violence against women. This research identifies the process of translating and adopting CEDAW at the local level in the United States to combat and prevent violence against women, as well as the sustainability and viability of these instruments. To ensure proper translation, adopting international human rights law at the local level requires laborious and time-consuming trainings and education, which are not executed consistently in many of these local contexts. Additionally, lacking forms of local institutionalization, important actors in the vernacularization of CEDAW are unstable at the local level, exacerbated by vertical hierarchies that characterize CEDAW advocacy.
