The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), the global abortion provider co-founded by US-based Planned Parenthood Federation of America, recently issued a primer to help affiliated ?Member Associations? and abortion-rights activists navigate abortion laws around the world. In addition, the 87-page publication provides guidance on how ?to advocate for the removal of restrictions? on abortion, such as by arguing that international treaties should be interpreted broadly to trump national laws.
None of the enumerated treaties or conventions, which are legally binding on governments that ratify them, mentions the term abortion, however. Treaties are documents negotiated by sovereign states, many of which proscribed abortion at the time of ratification. Where silent on a subject, treaties are intended to leave the domestic laws of ratifying nations unchanged, in accordance with traditional principles of interpretation.
