Convention on the Nationality of Married Women

The League made the concession of creating an unfunded Consultative Committee on Nationality of Women.

[4] It was passed by the Pan American Conference at the same time as the Treaty on the Equality of Rights Between Men and Women.

These were the first pieces of international law to "explicitly set sexual equality as a principle to be incorporated into national legislation"[5] which was required of countries ratifying the convention and treaty.

[6] However, neither the International Labour Organization (ILO) nor the League of Nations passed any legislation on the issue during the interwar years.

The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women was created, and made it a priority of their agenda, launching a study in 1948.
