The document considers demands promoting gender equality and the protection of women\u2019s rights globally. It cites the Beijing Declaration, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and EU strategies, among others. One of its priorities is to guarantee access to so-called reproductive health, including sex education and abortion. <\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">The recommendations presuppose a renewed commitment to the 1995 Beijing Declaration and its goals, especially regarding full implementation of \u201cwomen\u2019s rights.\u201d It is worth recalling at this point that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unwomen.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Headquarters\/Attachments\/Sections\/CSW\/PFA_E_Final_WEB.pdf\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">the 1995 Beijing Declaration<\/a>, which is cited by the authors of the recommendations, states in section 106 (k): <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:35.4pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><i>In the light of paragraph 8.25 of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, which states: &#8220;In no case should abortion be promoted as a method of family planning. All Governments and relevant intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations are urged to strengthen their commitment to women\u2019s health, to deal with the health impact of unsafe abortion 16\/ as a major public health concern and to reduce the recourse to abortion through expanded and improved family-planning services. Prevention of unwanted pregnancies must always be given the highest priority and every attempt should be made to eliminate the need for abortion. Women who have unwanted pregnancies should have ready access to reliable information and compassionate counselling. Any measures or changes related to abortion within the health system can only be determined at the national or local level according to the national legislative process. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">This shows that the Declaration certainly does not promote abortion as part of \u201cwomen\u2019s health,\u201d but quite the opposite.<\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">The FEMM document calls for the European Parliament to have a significant role in determining the EU\u2019s position for the UN Commission session, including through consultation and furnishing of information. It assumes the implementation of a gender-perspective approach in EU trade, aid, and climate policies. Moreover, the resolution stresses the need to consider gender equality in all aspects of EU policy (described in the document as \u201cgender mainstreaming\u201d) and to apply \u201cgender budgeting.\u201d<\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>Defenders of life against human rights?<\/b><\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">FEMM wants to commit more strongly to combating opposition to \u201cadvances in gender equality,\u201d pointing to organizations with traditional values and describing them as \u201cthe growing transnational backlash against women\u2019s rights.\u201d Such a narrative intolerantly and unfairly stigmatizes organizations that promote the protection of life and traditional values as \u201canti-rights,\u201d speaking of \u201cbacklash\u201d against women\u2019s rights.<\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">The resolution recommends access to sex education, contraception, and legal and \u201csafe\u201d abortion for all women. The call for such open interference in bioethical issues violates the sovereignty of member states, including Poland, where the protection of life from conception is constitutionally guaranteed. <\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">The report stresses the need to strengthen tools to combat violence against women, both in the EU and in partner countries. The recommendations also suggest incorporating a gender perspective in environmental transformation efforts and point out the disproportionate impact of climate change on women. The document also indicates that the EU must urge immediate ratification and implementation of the Istanbul Convention from the remaining five member states <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/rodzina-i-malzenstwo\/sprzeciw-wobec-konwencji-stambulskiej-w-wybranych-krajach-rady-europy\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">that still have not done so<\/a>.<\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>The important role of the Commission on the Status of Women<\/b><\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Human rights, including women\u2019s rights, are a key element of the international legal system. In shaping them, the Commission on the Status of Women plays an essential role. Hence, the recommendations prepared for the European Council should make women\u2019s welfare and health their primary considerations, while not contradicting the international human-rights system. <\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Abortion should not be treated as a method of family planning. This is particularly true because it does not appear in any binding international treaty as a \u201chuman right.\u201d At the same time, the right to life is recognized in many acts of international law (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 3; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 6-1; Convention on the Rights of the Child, preamble, paragraph 9; Convention on the Rights of the Child, Articles 6-1, 6-2; International Conference on Population and Development, Chapter II, Principle 1; Madrid International Plan of Action on Aging, Article 5).

Among them is the International Conference on Population and Development, enacted in Cairo in 1994 (Section 8.25). The act also recognized that governments should take appropriate steps to help women avoid abortion.<\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Citing the Cairo Conference, the UN General Assembly resolution (A\/S-21\/5\/Add.1) reiterated: \u201cIn no case should abortion be promoted as a method of family planning\u2026 Any measures or changes related to abortion within the health system can only be determined at the national or local level according to the national legislative process.\u201d [Item 63.

The promotion of women\u2019s rights should be done through the defense of maternity, assistance to families, and the elimination of violence against women, not through the introduction of practices that are contrary to the law by bodies unauthorized to do so. Recommended measures \u2013 including financial support, flexible forms of employment, educational campaigns, and the development of family infrastructure \u2013 are an implementation of these commitments. The family is the refuge of tradition and a key element of social heritage, the protection of which should be a priority for any public policy.<\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Both the European Parliament and the European Council must represent all member states in their policies and drafting of legislation. For some of them, including Poland, whose constitution upholds the protection of life, promoting a recommendation with the content prepared by FEMM would conflict with constitutional guarantees. The recommendation that the European Council promote \u201caccess to safe and legal abortion\u201d in the Commission on the Status of Women is unacceptable not only because there is no consensus among member states on this issue, but because it violates the EU\u2019s principle of subsidiarity, which makes public health issues a national competence. For this reason, the European Parliament should reject the proposal prepared by FEMM, a step that the Ordo Iuris Institute will encourage in a memorandum for MEPs prepared for the meeting.<\/span><\/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=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><i>Julia Ksi\u0105\u017cek \u2013 analyst at the Ordo Iuris Center for International Law<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2022 The European Parliament will debate the draft recommendations of the EU Committee on Women\u2019s Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM). \u2022 The document was drafted by FEMM and adopted on December 4, with Lina G\u00e1lvez as rapporteur.
