4. 研究表明，妇女在条约审议进程中的代表性一贯不足，平均只占委任外交官的三分之一。2 此外，考虑到男女的总体比例，男性在代表团团长中所占比例高于预期。例如，在 2019 年筹备委员会会议上，约 76%的代表团团长为男性，24%为女性，而与会者中男性占 71%，女性占 29%。
4. Research shows that women are systematically underrepresented in the Treaty review process, comprising, on average, only one third of accredited diplomats. 2 Furthermore, men are overrepresented as heads of delegations to a greater degree than would be expected, given the overall proportion of men and women. For instance, at the 2019 Preparatory Committee, approximately 76 per cent of heads of delegations were men and 24 per cent women, while attendees overall comprised 71 per cent men and 29 per cent women.
