Article 19 Reservations 41. Article 19 follows article 17 of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in not permitting reservations to the Protocol. The Chairperson-Rapporteur wishes to underline the optional nature of the Optional Protocol, as well as the fact that its objective is not to create any new substantive rights; those are stipulated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the two existing substantive Optional Protocols to it.
