The authors were respectively Rapporteur and Chair, International Law Association, Committee on Feminism and International Law until 2000. This article is based upon the Final Report of that Committee on Women's Equality and Nationality in International Law, which reflects contributions by Committee members, and is in that sense a joint enterprise. Committee members were: Junko Akiba-Torii (Japan), Andrew C. Bymes (Hong Kong), Hilary Charlesworth (Australia), Mai Chen (New Zealand), Patricia Conlan (Ireland, alternate), Alpha Connelly (Ireland), M. Kirilova Eriksson (Sweden), Anne Gallagher (Australia, alternate), Alda Gant (Brazil), Savitri W.E. Gooneskere (Sri Lanka), Anja-Riitta Ketokoski (Finland), Annette Lansink Kirk-Cohen (South Africa), Ludmila V. Korbut (Russia), Virginia Leary (United States), Maria Laeticia P Loenen (The Netherlands), Ms. Justice Sujata V. Manohar (India), Karin Oellers-Frahm (Germany), Catherine Redgwell (United Kingdom), Zenaida P. Reyes (Philippines), Jenny Huei-Yi Shyu (Taiwan, Republic of China), Lilly Sucharipa (Austria), Giuseppe Vedovato (Italy), Tania Wasserstein (Brazil), and Chih-yu Wu (Tai- wan, Republic of China, alternate). David Berry (West Indies) contributed to the Committee's work, although he only subsequently became a member of the Committee. The Committee would like to thank the following for their help with the Final Report: Carol Batchelor (United Nations High Commission for Refugees, Geneva), Johanna (Myyra) Blom, Re- becca Cook, Sara Hossain (Interights, London), Urfan Khaliq, Zdenka Machnyikova, Sandra Raponi, and Alison Symington. The Final Report was considered by the International Law Association at its 69th conference, held in London in July, 2000. In preparing this article, the authors have made every effort to update the sources used in the Final Report, but in some instances were unable to obtain more recent in- formation. The authors are grateful to Radu Popa and Marylin Raisch for their assistance with this updating.
