One of the four, Fiji ratified the conventionwith reservations.
Ratification is just the beginning.
In itself, it will notachieve women's rights overnight. That's a sobering thought, given how few governments haveactually ratified the convention at this point. As for men and women's nationalities, Fiji's 1990 constitutiontreated men and women who marry foreigners differently, making itdifficult to adopt the provisions of Article 9 of the convention. Under this constitution, the foreign wife of a Fijian man isentitled to Fijian citizenship at marriage, but not the foreign husband of a Fijian woman. It is important to keep all goodcultural and religious practices, but try to eliminate those whichprevent women enjoying their human rights.
