Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Discussion with Amnesty International Ireland

3:30 pm

Mr. Colm O'Gorman:

There is no provision within international human rights law to the effect that abortion is, in itself, a human rights violation. In fact, many provisions make it clear that denying a woman in certain circumstances access to abortion is a grave human rights violation.
