The Committee notes with interest the new Constitution of Argentina, and particularly Chapter II, article 37, which guarantees real equality of opportunity for men and women in respect of access to elected and political office, and Chapter IV, article 75(23), which refers to the adoption of legislation and the promotion of positive measures to guarantee real equality of treatment for women.
