UN Women's Commission Adopts Its Conclusions by Vote for the First Time

At CSW70 in New York on 9 March 2026, the Commission on the Status of Women adopted its Agreed Conclusions on access to justice for women and girls by recorded vote, 37 to 1 with 6 abstentions, after the United States broke the usual consensus.

The Commission on the Status of Women adopted its CSW70 Agreed Conclusions on 9 March 2026 at UN Headquarters in New York^[1]
For the first time in the Commission's history they were adopted by recorded vote rather than consensus: 37 in favour, the United States against and 6 abstentions^[3][6]
The Commission had rejected eight US amendments as a package before the vote^[6]
The text commits governments to recognise community justice workers and paralegals, repeal discriminatory laws on child marriage, family and property, expand legal aid and make justice systems survivor-centred, including in conflict^[1]
The United States said it called the vote over language on "gender" and "sexual and reproductive health and rights"^[5]
The session ran from 9 to 19 March 2026 under the priority theme of access to justice for all women and girls^[2]
