Gender Parity in International Legal Bodies: Are We there yet?
Résumé
Des organes juridiques internationales paritaires: objectif atteint ou en attente?
Cet article analyse les différents types de normes facilitant une composition équilibrée en genre des organes internationaux dotés de pouvoirs juridiques, l’évolution récente de la composition de ces organes dans une perspective de genre, et la relation entre les normes susmentionnées et ladite évolution, en tenant compte principalement du rapport du Conseil des droits de l’homme sur les niveaux actuels de représentation des femmes dans les organes et mécanismes des droits de l’homme, de 2021. Cette étude fait la distinction entre les normes de droit dur et souple (hard et soft law) en matière de parité de genres et les normes qui régissent les procédures de nomination et d’élection des membres de ces organes. Le but ultime est de tirer des conclusions sur la nature et l’efficacité des différents ensembles de règles, en proposant une stratégie à deux volets pour aller de l’avant. Sans aucun doute, la vie déjà longue du débat social et juridique dans l’académie et la pratique croissante des États tant á niveau interne qu’internationales rendent impossible tout marche en arrière. Bien que des fruits aient été récoltés, il est nécessaire de développer de nouveaux outils juridiques qui permettent de générer de nouveaux acquis.
