		The facts of Beijing Metals are, in reality, of little relevance to this Note, as this Note's purpose is not to determine whether C.I.S.G. governed the Beijing Metals contract,[3l] nor whether the Fifth Circuit reached an accurate conclusion under the parol evidence rule.
		In sum, because the parol evidence rule conforms "with the general principles on which [the Convention] is based," the rule may be applied under article 7(2) to resolve the unsettled question of what constitutes due consideration of extrinsic evidence in determining the parties' integrationist intent.
		This increased uniformity is accomplished by the parol evidence rule alone and not by the Convention, for the Convention does not affect Contracting States' division of adjudicatory power between jury and judge.

	Climate of Fear: Sexual Violence and Abduction of Women and Girls In Baghdad (Human Rights Watch Report, July 2003) V. ...
		In 1992, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) Committee enumerated a wide range of obligations for states related to ending sexual violence, including ensuring appropriate treatment for victims in the justice system, counseling and support services, and medical and psychological assistance to victims.
		The Fourth Geneva Convention places special emphasis on the requirement that “women shall be especially protected against any attack on their honour, in particular against rape, enforced prostitution, or any form of indecent assault.”
		Provisions of the Iraqi Penal Code that reduce punishments in cases of “honor” crimes or allow male perpetrators of abduction, rape, sodomy, sexual violence, or attempted sexual violence to escape punishment by marrying their victims constitute an obstacle to the CPA’s obligation to ensure women’s and girls’ fundamental rights.
