		The Cairo Institute for Human Rights, the Egyptian Organisation for Human Rights and International Politics magazine held a conference in Cairo from the 5th - 7th July on priorities and mechanisms of reform in the Arab world.
		When conferences are sponsored by governments themselves they must surely result in a programme and detailed plan of action and time frame for the implementation of reform demands raised by political forces.
		Conference discussions made clear that the foremost demand for political reform in countries with republican political systems was the exchange of power and the imposition of a time limit on presidential terms of office.

	Issues in Islam: Cairo Population Conference Still Controversial
		In April of last year conference officials began to pick up "vibes of what was coming—an attack on the concept of the conference and on the conference itself," Ibrahim told a recent seminar at Washington, DC's Population Reference Bureau.
		While the ICPD was known as "the Cairo conference," Omran points out that it was actually three conferences: the official plenary conference, a meeting of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) concerned with population issues, and a third session which brought together parliamentarians from various countries.
		Conference critic Ahmad believes the emphasis on overarching governmental population efforts is misplaced, arguing that decisions about population growth are made by individuals.

	What Really Happened at Cairo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Cairo was the third in a series of decennial international population conferences.
		It was no surprise, then, that Prep-Com III produced a truly radical draft document for the Cairo conference, in which only six of 118 pages were devoted to the conference's ostensible topic of "population and development," with the bulk of the rest given over to proposals for a lifestyle revolution of awesome proportions.
		That the Cairo conference did not adopt, but in fact rejected, key aspects of its planners' agenda was the result of a variety of factors: nervousness in Latin America, resistance from Islamic societies, and resentment in certain African countries of what they saw as Western cultural imperialism.

		The long-planned conference will consider several issues that are both fundamental and controversial, including sexual and reproductive health and rights, the role of women's status, health, and education in limiting population growth, and funding of population programs.
		As the Cairo Conference nears and a draft of the new Population Plan of Action is fashioned, many have expressed surprise at the broad level of agreement reached on many issues, particularly on the role of women.
		Perhaps the most significant departure from previous population conferences is the emphasis placed on women's status and the importance of women in the broader context of sustainable development.

		The Conference also witnessed a transformation in the conceptualization of citizenship rights: the recognition given in the Programme of Action to rights that are enjoyed or denied within the home began gaining ground within the framework conception of human rights.
		It is ten years after the Cairo conference and it is such a disappointment that so little progress has been made in the actual status of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and rights as well as people's access to affordable and comprehensive SRH services.
		In the context of the Conference on Population, this policy was pursued by cutting back funding to the United Nations Population Fund (UNPFA) and immediately obstructed the use of language referring to abortion in the Conference resolutions (pdf format).

	Cairo Population Conference To Examine Growth Problems
		The bad news, according to International Labor Organization experts preparing for the Cairo conference, is that 30 percent of the world's labor force does not earn enough to rise above the poverty line and, despite the present global abundance of food, many individuals cannot afford enough to eat.
		In Cairo, conferees are expected to agree that the primary goal of such international efforts must be to make family planning services available to millions of couples who want but do not now have access to them.
		These government measures, plus improved educational and health facilities, and the increased urbanization that has brought up to one-quarter of the country's inhabitants to Cairo, with an estimated population of 12 to 16 million, have lowered the Egyptian birthrate by 42 percent in the past 30 years.
