[W]e would like to bring to the attention of your Excellency’s Government information we have received concerning the grave and alarming deterioration in the access of women and girls to comprehensive sexual and reproductive healthcare, including abortion, following the United States Supreme Court decision in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and the direct and indirect violations of international human rights law as a result of the decision. . . .
As it is our responsibility, under the mandates provided to us by the Human Rights Council, to seek to clarify all cases brought to our attention, we would be grateful for your observations on the following matters:
1. Please provide any additional information and/or comment(s) you may
have about any consideration being given to reviewing the current
legislation to ensure that the human rights of women and girls are
protected
2. Please indicate the steps being taken at the federal level to ensure that
women’s human rights, in particular their sexual and reproductive
health rights and their right to privacy, equality and non-discrimination,
are duly protected in compliance with U.S. constitutional safeguards
and international standards.
