HANAN KHALED ZEGBIA (Libya<\/u>) said that Libya was party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, which it ratified 1989.  It presented national reports to the Committee in charge of the implementation of the Convention.   Furthermore, Libya had ratified most international human rights instruments and was committed to their implementation.  Since the Revolution, Libya had promulgated laws to promote gender equality.  Legislation took into consideration the nature of women, banning all kinds of hazardous work for women. Thanks to this legislation, Libyan women had achieved a privileged economic position; they enjoyed complete freedom of movement, could be financially independent, and held positions that had been the privilege of men for a long period.  In face of the degradation in the position of women in many regions of the world, the international community must take swift steps to implement the Beijing Plan. Libya also expressed concern at the violations of women’s right in the occupied Palestinian territories and in Iraq.<\/p><\/div>\n
