Neuer Titel: UN Experts May Not Enforce Abortion Legalization Until Birth!
Cancel Human Rights!


Neuer Petitionstext: __Petition to the United Nations General Assembly,
to the attention of UN Secretary-General António Guterres__
The UN Human Rights Committee (CCPR) wants to enforce abortion legalization until birth, ignoring all human rights of unborn children. Article 1 UDHR says: ‘All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights’. Since we are also born with legs and arms, our freedom, dignity and rights were already there before birth. Since slavery and serfdom are prohibited, no one may treat unborn children as private property of their mothers. Some states even prohibit the slaughter of vertebrates without anaesthetic. Not so with unborn children. Although they have been sensitive to touch and pain since at least their 20th week of life, they are less protected from pain than rats. Abortion is inhuman and cruel.
So far, the UN bodies continue to seek have often striven for the full complete legalization of abortions. Since then, however, a majority in the UN General Assembly regularly blocked such claims from all its resolutions.
The UN Human Rights Committee (CCPR) actually has been mandated to oversee compliance with the Civil Covenant (ICCPR). Currently, its 18 independent members are planning a new General Comment on the Right to Life (GC No 36 [1]). But herein they claim in paragraph 9:
___'States parties must provide safe access to abortion___ (..)
_in situations in which carrying a pregnancy to term
would cause the woman substantial pain or suffering_ (..)'
(optional and veiling sections suppressed)
Neither the existence of the unborn child nor its human rights are mentioned in a word. Instead the CCPR invents here a novel duty of states to provide legal __abortions without any limitations__, as nobody can guarantee that a birth will take place without substantial pain.
While a 'General Comment' is not legally binding, it is used as a reference text and as a lever against states. Contrary to the wording of human rights [5,11,12,14,15], despite the conviction of virtually all UN states, that consider it necessary to restrict abortion [2], and despite extensive rejoinders [3], the CCPR refuses stubbornly to withdraw this claim.
This is unacceptable. We require a basic change.
As summarized in ‘*Seven Claims of the Smallest Humans*’ (www.goo.gl/SpJFDQ) human rights of children must be recognized already before they are born. Even UN experts must not cancel human rights!
__As citizens of nations all over the world,
we sign this petition,__
considering the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Preamble),
__because__ _recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
__because__ disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind,
__because__ the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person._
**1. Respectfully, we make a formal request to the General Assembly**
to use its authority on all UN bodies and to conclude a resolution,
- **confirming** that the inherent human dignity and equal human rights
must be recognized for each member of the human family
since the beginning of his physical existence at procreation,
- **prohibiting** all UN bodies
to require, support or recommend any abortion,
as abortion violates human rights of children before their birth [4,5],
- **confirming** that nobody can be authorized to declare or waive
any obligation on a state or persons living there,
independent and indisputable by the organs of that state,
as this violates the state’s sovereignty [7,17],
- **prohibiting** all UN bodies
to claim any obligations of souveran states
that are not part of ratified treaties [7].
- **establishing** an UN Special Rapporteur or Independent Expert
on violence and discrimination before birth,
- **instructing** the UN Secretary-General to reprove any member
of the Human Rights Committee who did not vote against the support of abortion in GC No 36 [1], due to violation of article 5 ICCPR [6], and in future to take disciplinary action against any member of UN bodies that violates above prohibitions up to immediate dismissal.
**2. In case the General Assembly will not conclude**
a resolution according to these requests, **we will escalate**
and request each Contracting State of the ICCPR by its own,
sovereign decision [8] to withdraw its Declarations on Competence
of the Human Rights Committee (CCPR)
to receive and consider inter state communications [9] and
to receive and consider complaints of persons [10].
