The UN Human Rights Committee intends to rely on international safeguards of the right to life to establish a \u201cpseudo-right\u201d to abortion and euthanasia. In its new draft General Comment to Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Committee divests the youngest children of legal protection and forces States to legalize euthanasia. Ordo Iuris Institute has launched the petition to exhort citizens to protect human dignity against the actions by left-wing activists who have colonized UN structures.

The UN Human Rights Committee intends to rely on international safeguards of the right to life to establish a \u201cpseudo-right\u201d to abortion and euthanasia. In its new draft General Comment to Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Committee divests the youngest children of legal protection and forces States to legalize euthanasia. Ordo Iuris<\/em> Institute has launched the petition to exhort citizens to protect human dignity against the actions by left-wing activists who have colonized UN structures. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In disregard of the position of the States, in its draft interpretation of Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the UN Human Rights Committee attempts to provide such understating of the right to life so as to fabricate an artificial \u201cright to abortion and euthanasia\u201d. The Committee, whose mission is to monitor the enforcement of the Human Rights Covenant, endeavors not only to establish a \u201cpseudo-right\u201d to kill the child before birth, by presenting it deceitfully as a life-saving measure, but, what\u2019s more, it also requests that all UN Member States legalize abortion on request without any limitations. Importantly, the authors of the draft consider the safeguards of children\u2019s life in its earliest stage as something \u201cdegrading and unreasonably oppressive\u201d. A similar approach is taken to the ill and the disabled for whom the Committee claims the full \u201cright\u201d to euthanasia, and by doing so, opens the door wide open to abuses in the healthcare system.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By strongly pushing towards a \u201cpseudo-right\u201d to abortion, unknown to international law, the draft General Comment violates a number of its binding norms. For instance, it should be noted that during the International Conference on Population convened in Cairo, in 1994, UN Member States unanimously undertook to strive to eliminate any situations which may induce abortion. Both the Declaration of the Rights of the Child of 1959 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989 expressly stipulate that \u201cthe child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
