 Since 1964 the United Nations has mainly dealt with the rights of women and minorities through specialized treaties such as the  International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination  (1965); the  Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women  (1979); the  Convention on the Rights of the Child  (1989), and the  Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities  (2007). See also the  Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples  (2007). Specialized treaties allow international norms to address unique problems of particular groups such as assistance and care during pregnancy and childbearing in the case of women, custody issues in the case of children, and the loss of historic territories by indigenous peoples.
