The Valiant Five - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On October 18, 1929, the committee ruled that Canadian women were indeed persons and were competent to serve in the Senate. The Valiant Five or The Famous Five were five Canadian women who, in 1927 asked the Supreme Court of Canada to answer the question, "Are women persons?" The case came to be known as the Persons Case.

A/50/40: Human Rights Committee report (3 Oct) At the fourteenth meeting of States parties, held at United Nations Headquarters on 8 September 1994, nine members of the Committee were elected, in accordance with articles 28 to 32 of the Covenant, to fill the vacancies resulting from the termination of some terms of office on 31 December 1994. The Committee is concerned that the electoral system, under which two thirds of members of the House of Representatives are elected by direct universal suffrage and one third by an electoral college, may raise issues as to the requirements, under article 25 (b) of the Covenant, that elections be held by "universal and equal suffrage". The Committee recognizes that the State party, which is emerging from a change of government in 1989 that ended a long period of dictatorial rule, is undergoing a transition towards democracy in which the infrastructure necessary for the implementation of the Covenant has not been fully developed. www.un.org /documents/ga/docs/50/plenary/a50-40.htm   (5577 words)
