Abstract:
This paper proposes that US human rights experts and abortion rights advocates challenge the striking down of Roe v. Wade in June 2022 by the majority of US Supreme Court justices because of the multiple human rights violations it has engendered. The paper has three parts. The first part summarizes the compelling response of the three dissenting Supreme Court justices to the majority ruling, which spells out those violations in detail. The second part offers a history of cases of violations of human rights related to abortion in other countries that have been heard and adjudicated by a range of human rights bodies in the last 20 years, and their outcomes. It shows that working on these cases has created working relationships between national and international human rights experts and advocates. Based on this information, the third part proposes that US human rights and abortion rights advocates take a case to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights against the US Supreme Court ruling, asking the commission to direct the US government to void the majority ruling on Roe v. Wade-on the grounds that it violates the human rights of anyone who seeks an abortion and potentially also of those whose wanted pregnancies become a risk to their health and life and need to be terminated. And if the United States does not agree, the commission should refer the case to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
摘要:
本文提出,美国人权专家和堕胎权利倡导者在2022年6月质疑美国最高法院多数法官对Roev.Wade案的打击,因为它造成了多种侵犯人权行为。论文分为三个部分。第一部分总结了三名持不同意见的最高法院大法官对多数裁决的令人信服的回应,详细说明了这些违规行为。第二部分介绍了过去20年来一系列人权机构审理和裁决的其他国家与堕胎有关的侵犯人权案件的历史,和他们的结果。它表明,处理这些案件已经在国家和国际人权专家和倡导者之间建立了工作关系。根据这些信息,第三部分建议美国人权和堕胎权利倡导者向美洲人权委员会提起诉讼,反对美国最高法院的裁决,要求委员会指示美国政府撤销对Roev.Wade的多数裁决,理由是这违反了任何寻求堕胎的人的人权,也可能侵犯了那些想要怀孕的人的人权,这些人的健康和生命受到威胁,需要被终止。如果美国不同意,该委员会应将此案提交美洲人权法院。
