- Abortion
- Sexual and / or reproductive rights and / or health broadly
Type:CommentSession:28th Session November 2017Status:N/AContents:The Centre for Reproductive Rights Inc. noted that in Peru a pregnancy could only be legally interrupted in order to save the life of the woman or to avoid serious and permanent damage to her health, also known as “therapeutic abortion” and therefore, it regretted that Peru only took note of the recommendation made under its review to decriminalize abortion in all instances. The Centre for Reproductive Rights Inc. stated that a pending lawsuit before the Constitutional Court could potentially ban therapeutic abortion, preventing all women and girls seeking abortions under the current law to do so and it worried that these developments were happening in a wider context of backlash against women’s sexual and reproductive rights in Peru.ExplanationPeru reiterated its commitment to continue working in order to advance in this subject. Peru stated that the country had accepted about six recommendations regarding sexual and reproductive rights. -

ExplanationNoted. En respeto a la independencia y autonomía de las Entidades, sobre “dejar de apelar sentencias judiciales”, se resalta que la interposición de un medio impugnatorio obedece estrictamente al ejercicio de un derecho que le asiste a los órganos del Sistema de Defensa Jurídica encargados de representar a las entidades, al formar parte de un proceso judicial (en virtud al emplazamiento realizado por la autoridad judicial), ante la existencia de un fallo que involucra las funciones de la institución, con el objeto que el superior jerárquico efectúe el control eficaz de la resolución judicial expedida en primera instancia. Es a esta consideración y no a otra, a la que se ciñe la actuación recursal de las Procuradurías Públicas, las misma que cuenta con una actuación de naturaleza autónoma y estrictamente jurídica.
