to their children.”8 The Declaration also includes a recommitment to implement the relevant provisions of CEDAW and the Protocol to The African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa. It is therefore paramount to ensure that this issue is highlighted during this round. Finally we urge the Committee to raise with the government of Sierra Leone in its List of Issues the following questions with regard to violations of children’s rights resulting from sex discrimination in the country’s nationality law.  Given the violations of children’s rights resulting from sex discrimination in the Sierra Leone Citizenship Act and the government’s commitment to enact reforms, what steps is the government taking and within what timeframe to amend the Citizenship Act to ensure that women citizens have the same rights as men to confer nationality on their children and their foreign spouses?  Please describe how the right to nationality and non-discrimination is being addressed by the Constitutional Review Commission? In what timeframe will the Constitutional Review Commission complete its work?  What support might be needed, if any, to further this process? Thank you very much for your kind attention, and please do not hesitate to contact us if we can provide further information.
