From a legal perspective, the author singles out the provision of article 14 of the African Women’s Protocol (sexual and reproductive health rights) and begins with the tricky issue of identifying four aspects namely non-discrimination, abortion, informed consent and HIV/AIDS which in his opinion are fundamental to the protection and promotion of women’s sexual and reproductive health rights. Thereafter, with the help of case law, the author reviews the legal interpretations of these four aspects by some African, American, and Asian courts. At the UN level, decisions of the CEDAW Committee and the Human Rights Council are also reviewed. Of practical interest, reflecting on the four aspects, the author explores the interpretative approach of different social sciences such as sociology, anthropology and psychology in an attempt to introduce a multidisciplinary approach that could supplement legal interpretation and understanding of women’s sexual and reproductive health rights. / Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Centre for Human Rights / unrestricted Reproductive health rights Specific rights African women's protocol Sexuality UCTD

The issue has also been analyzed from the feminist jurisprudence perspective in the context of how these political actions have fostered discrimination against women, especially adolescent girls. This study argues that of the Reproductive policies in Peru have lacked solidity and have been exposed to constant changes in orientation, whether influenced by the pressure of actors such as the Catholic Church, civilian organizations or through international treaties.

Also treaty law, in particular, the ICESCR article 12 and the CEDAW article 12 grant women the right to the highest attainable standard of health and the right to non-discriminatory access to healthcare. But due to the criminal law applicable to abortion women lack non-discriminatory access to reproductive healthcare and therefore do not enjoy the highest attainable standard of pregnancy related health. Despite its decision not to enforce the abortion prohibiting criminal laws, Suriname remains in a state of failure to comply with its legal duties as imposed by the Constitution and treaty law. This, due to the state’s reluctance to repeal the criminal laws on abortion and its failure to enact effective health regulations to facilitate women in need of an abortion. abortion reproductive health rights reproductive health law reproductive health women's rights right to health crime and punishment approach human rights right to life rule of law Suriname criminal law pregnancy constitutional law Convention on the Rights of the Child American Convention on Human Rights 0398
