One of the most important developments in international law for the protection of displaced women and girls—the implied non-refoulement obligation in the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women has received little scholarly or jurisprudential attention. This Article presents, for the first time, a doctrinal analysis of the full corpus of asylum complaints decided by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (Committee). It analyzes the early development of a prohibition on return to real, personal, and foreseeable risks of serious forms of discrimination against women; highlights critical shortcomings in the Committee's asylum practice; identifies key areas for improvement; and reflects on the Committee's as-yet-unrealized potential to contribute to international law in this area.

释放《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》的变革潜力:消除对妇女歧视委员会审理的庇护案件
《消除对妇女歧视公约》中隐含的不驱回义务是保护流离失所妇女和女童的国际法中最重要的发展之一,但很少受到学术或法理学的关注。本文首次对消除对妇女歧视委员会(委员会)决定的庇护申诉的全部内容进行了理论分析。它分析了禁止返回真实的、个人的和可预见的严重形式歧视妇女的风险的早期发展;强调委员会庇护实践中的严重缺陷;确定需要改进的关键领域;并反思了委员会在这一领域为国际法做出贡献的尚未实现的潜力。
