Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1979. It was the culmination of more than 30 years of work by the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), which was established in 1946 to promote women's rights.

Statement 2 is correct: CEDAW is often described as an international bill of rights for women. It is unique among human rights treaties for its focus on reproductive rights. For instance, Article 12 requires States to ensure access to health care services, including those related to family planning, and Article 16(e) affirms the right to decide freely on the number and spacing of children.

Statement 3 is incorrect: The implementation of the Convention is monitored by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, not the Committee on Human Rights (which monitors the ICCPR).
