40. 国际和欧洲核心人权文书适用于百慕大，其中包括《欧洲保护人权与基本自由公约》《经济、社会及文化权利国际公约》《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》《禁止酷行和其他残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚公约》《儿童权利公约》和《消除一切形式种族歧视国际公约》。据管理国称，联合王国对《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》的批准已于 2017 年 3 月正式延伸到百慕大，但百慕大对《公约》第一条和第十五条第 4 款提出两项保留。领土政府于 2017 年 2 月表示，第一项保留是为了保持百慕大可以继续为百慕大皇家军团只征募男性新兵并且宗教组织不会被迫设有女司祭的立场。第二项保留考虑了具有歧视与非百慕大男子结婚的百慕大妇女之效果的宪法和移民法条款，因为与百慕大妇女结婚的非百慕大男子所享权利少于与百慕大男子结婚的非百慕大妇女。
40. Core international and European human rights instruments are applied in Bermuda, including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. According to the administering Power, the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women by the United Kingdom was formally extended to Bermuda in March 2017, with two reservations relating to articles 1 and 15 (4) of the Convention. The territorial Government indicated in February 2017 that the first reservation was to preserve the position whereby Bermuda could continue to conscript only male recruits to the Royal Bermuda Regiment and that religious organizations would not be compelled to have women priests. The second reservation took account of the constitutional and immigration provisions that had the effect of discriminating against a Bermudian woman married to a non-Bermudian man, owing to the lesser rights granted to a non-Bermudian man married to a Bermudian woman compared with a non-Bermudian woman married to a Bermudian man.
