The European Parliament is to vote on the report on the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> of June. The Ordo Iuris Institute prepared an international petition on this matter, which was presented at the \u2018Stop Matic Report\u2019 International Coalition Conference.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stopmaticreport.org\/\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>SIGN THE PETITION<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">\n<span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">\u201cWe would like to invite all non-governmental organisations, political leaders, scientists and citizens concerned about protecting fundamental human rights and the future of Europe to join our initiative. We must not allow the Union to unlawfully broaden its competences and to use its institutions in order to impose radical solutions on Member States,\u201d comments Karolina Paw\u0142owska, Director of the Ordo Iuris International Law Centre. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">The report was approved by the Committee on Women\u2019s Rights and Gender Equality of the European Parliament on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> of May. It was written by the Croatian socialist Predrag Fred Mati\u0107. A vote on a resolution on this matter is scheduled for the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> of June this year. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Both the Report and the draft resolution launch an unprecedented attack on human rights and freedoms, such as the right of self-determination or the freedom of speech. Both documents consider opposition to the concept of \u2018reproductive and sexual rights\u2019 as a violation of democratic values and call for limiting the right to express one\u2019s doubts on this matter. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">According to the EU Treaties, human health policy matters are reserved for the sole competence of Member States. This is confirmed by Articles 6 and 168 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The European Union only complements Member State actions in this area and cannot strive to harmonise the laws of the respective States. The European Commission has repeatedly confirmed that this is indeed the case. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Equally importantly, the two documents misrepresent the concept of \u2018reproductive and sexual rights\u2019 as a binding international legal obligation and an element of human rights, even though it has never actually been used in any binding act of international law. The Report also completely ignores the repeatedly expressed international opposition to abortion as a \u2018human right\u2019, and the lack of consent to the introduction of the term \u2018reproductive and sexual rights\u2019 in international instruments. It also mentions the Final Statement of the Nairobi Summit, which in itself was vigorously opposed by several dozen States. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">The Ordo Iuris Institute and a coalition of organisations from other Member States have decided to submit a petition on this matter to the European Parliament. The petition highlights the fact that although resolutions are not binding laws, they may be used as a tool to exert unauthorised pressure on Member States. The authors of the petition call on the European Parliament to respect EU Treaties.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Parliament is demanding that the European Union impose the concept of \u2018reproductive and sexual rights\u2019 on all Member States and that foetal homicide be recognised as a human right.
