Allégations de dispositions discriminatoires à l’égard des femmes dans la législation
togolaise sur la nationalité. Selon de nouvelles informations reçues, la législation
togolaise continue de nier le droit des femmes togolaises à passer leur nationalité à
leur mari d’origine étrangère. Bien que le Groupe de Travail apprécie les informations
détaillées et fournies par le Gouvernement dans sa réponse à la communication en
date du 14 novembre 2014, ref. A/HRC/28/85, TGO 1/2014, le Groupe de Travail
sollicite des informations supplémentaires sur la réforme législative en cours visant à
abroger cette législation.
