The ICJ has submitted information to the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in preparation for the Committee’s examination of the third periodic report of Ireland under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
During its pre-sessional working group meeting in December 2014, the Committee will adopt a ‘List of Issues’ for the examination in June 2015 of the third periodic report of Ireland under ICESCR. To assist the Committee in preparation of its List of Issues, the ICJ’s submission raises issues concerning access to safe and legal abortion in Ireland.
