Organizations Respond to U.N. Special Rapporteur’s Report

Human rights, women’s rights and health organizations released a signed letter this week in support of the report by the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the right to health, Anand Grover, which was presented on October 24, 2011 to the U.N. General Assembly. The report reveals the many human rights violations resulting from criminal laws and legal restrictions to sexual and reproductive rights around the world. The Center and the signees welcome the implementation of the report’s recommendations and look forward to working with States on the application of the recommendations.
