Concluding Observations on Report 2 (2017) (Link)

Sexual and reproductive rights

21. The Committee welcomes the State party’s statement that the criminal provisions concerning abortion have not been enforced in practice and welcomes the revision of the criminal code pertaining to the decriminalization of women seeking abortions. The Committee remains concerned, however, about the restrictive circumstances in which termination of pregnancy is permitted by law in the State party, and particularly the fact that no exception exists in cases of fatal fetal impairment (arts. 3, 6, 7 and 17).

22. The State party should:

(a) Amend its legislation on abortion with a view to providing for additional exceptions to the legal ban on abortion, including cases of fatal fetal impairment, in order to ensure that the life and health of women are adequately protected;

(b) Ensure access to clear information on options for voluntary pregnancy termination.
