analysis: This text appears to be a diplomatic document discussing the objections to reservations made by New Zealand to the 1979 Convention. The reservations relate to the treatment of women and children in Germany and the Cook Islands, and the document references international human rights instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The language used is formal and legalistic, suggesting that the document is a formal diplomatic communication.
