Costa Rica debe cumplir sentencia de la Corte IDH y garantizar la Fecundación in Vitro

(COMUNICADO DE PRENSA) Las organizaciones de derechos humanos abajo
firmantes instamos al Estado costarricense a cumplir lo ordenado por la Corte
Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Corte IDH) en el caso Artavia Murillo y otros y
aplicar una normativa que permita la realización de Fecundación in Vitro (FIV) en el país
sin ningún tipo de discriminación.


La prohibición de la FIV fue decretada por la Sala Constitucional de la Corte Suprema de
Justicia en el año 2000. Por esta situación la Corte IDH condenó al país en diciembre de
2012 por violar los derechos a la vida privada, los derechos reproductivos y los derechos
a la integridad personal de sus ciudadanos. El tribunal internacional ordenó a Costa Rica
ejecutar una ley que permita la FIV e incluir esta opción gradualmente en su sistema de
salud pública.


Costa Rica siempre ha manifestado disposición para cumplir con sus obligaciones
internacionales de respetar y garantizar los derechos humanos de su población. Cabe
destacar que además de ser sede de la Corte IDH, ha ratificado casi todos los
instrumentos interamericanos de derechos humanos y ha tenido un rol destacable de
apoyo al sistema interamericano, en sintonía con esto, deben reconocerse los
significativos avances implementados para cumplir con la sentencia del caso Herrera
Ulloa adecuando el sistema procesal penal vigente.


Considerando la trayectoria del Estado costarricense, nos preocupa que algunas voces de
actores internos aboguen por el incumplimiento de la sentencia poniendo en tensión la
histórica posición de respeto a los derechos humanos que representa Costa Rica a nivel
internacional. Más grave aún, el incumplimiento de la sentencia afecta a las personas a
quienes se les sigue violentando sus derechos humanos al privarlas del acceso a este
importante método reproductivo.


En su reciente visita a Costa Rica, Tracy Robinson, Relatora sobre los derechos de las
mujeres de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, manifestó: “Ahora es el
momento de cumplir con la sentencia de la Corte. Esto no sólo es un aspecto fundamental
del Estado de Derecho, sino que es un principio básico del derecho internacional: que
todos los tratados celebrados por un Estado son vinculantes para el Estado y deben ser
realizados por el Estado, de buena fe. La integridad y legitimidad del Sistema
Interamericano de Derechos Humanos depende de la aplicación efectiva de las
decisiones de los órganos del Sistema de modo que los derechos garantizados en la
Convención Americana se ejecuten”.


Las organizaciones firmantes nos sumamos a las declaraciones de la Relatora Robinson y
exigimos la acción pronta y oportuna del gobierno para asegurar el cumplimiento de lo
ordenado por la Corte IDH en el caso FIV y que en la audiencia de cumplimiento, a
realizarse el próximo 3 de septiembre, el Estado exprese de manera indiscutible su
voluntad política de acatar los compromisos internacionales en materia de derechos
humanos.
