The Convention is a key international human rights instrument and the only one exclusively addressed to women. It has been described as the United Nations' 'landmark tr...
The United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women - as other international instruments - was negotiated in an international and multicultural context by diplomats and politicians from a number of countries.

Vitamin A deficiency remains a leading cause of preventable blindness in children and also increases the risks of severe illness or death from infections. Vitamin D deficiency has become a public health concern, particularly in regions with insufficient sunshine or with sun avoidance behaviours that prevent dermal synthesis, and have infrequent access to or intake of dietary sources of vitamin D. This guideline provides clear, evidence-informed global recommendations on the fortification of edible oils and fats with vitamins A and D as a strategy to improve the intake of these vitamins and the nutritional and health status of populations. The recommendations are locally adaptable and grounde...
