She used as an example a Dutch national who had given up citizenship to live in South Africa and wanted to repatriate because of Apartheid.

She advocated to maintain a system which supported proportional representation in government and was opposed to a district system, which might create inequalities.

When constitutional debate was held on the inviolability of the human body, Kapeyne worked across party lines, though it was unusual for the era, to press for approval.

She made history at the conference by introducing, for the first time at an official UN Conference, the concept of lesbian rights, calling for an end to discrimination and protection of their legal rights.

Kappeyne helped shepherd the Emancipation Plan Domestic Affairs, which had been introduced by her predecessor, Hedy d'Ancona.
