Abstract
El presente trabajo realizará un análisis jurídico sobre las tendencias no
contenciosas y jurisprudenciales sobre el acceso a la interrupción del embarazo
desde el DIDH. Para tal fin, en principio, se explicará cuál es la protección
normativa en torno al acceso a la interrupción del embarazo desde el DIDH. En
ese sentido, con base a los pronunciamientos contenciosos y jurisprudenciales
de los órganos universales y regionales, se visibilizará el impacto de las
regulaciones restrictivas sobre el aborto en los derechos humanos de las
mujeres. De esta manera, se argumentará la existencia de normas e
interpretaciones de estas normas como el inicio de una línea argumentativa a
favor del acceso a la interrupción del embarazo de las mujeres gestantes.
En ese sentido, se demostrará la contradicción de la línea argumentativa sobre
la vulneración del derecho a la vida del feto como consecuencia del acceso a la
interrupción del embarazo. Efectivamente, se visibilizará que el derecho a la vida
no confiere una protección absoluta al feto. Por el contrario, la restricción de
acceso a la interrupción del embarazo se materializa en la vulneración del
derecho a la vida de las gestantes. En esa misma línea, se demostrará la posible
vulneración de otros derechos humanos protegidos, en diversos instrumentos de
derechos humanos, como el derecho a la vida privada y salud reproductiva de
las mujeres gestantes. Finalmente, demostraremos el consenso no contencioso
y jurisprudencial en ciertos supuestos de acceso a la interrupción del embarazo
con respecto a los pronunciamientos emitidos por los Sistemas de Protección de
Derechos Humanos.
This paper will conduct a legal analysis of the non-contentious and jurisprudential trends regarding access to abortion under international human rights law. For that purpose, we will begin by explaining the normative protection afforded to access to abortion under international human rights law. In this sense, based on the contentious and jurisprudential pronouncements of universal and regional bodies, the impact of restrictive regulations on abortion on women's human rights will be made visible. In this way, the existence of norms and interpretations of these norms will be argued as the beginning of a line of argument in favor of access to abortion for pregnant women. In this sense, the contradiction of the line of argument on the violation of the right to life of the fetus as a consequence of access to termination of pregnancy will be demonstrated. Indeed, it will be shown that the right to life does not confer absolute protection to the fetus. On the contrary, the restriction of access to termination of pregnancy is materialized in the violation of the right to life of pregnant women. In the same vein, we will demonstrate the possible violation of other human rights protected in various human rights instruments, such as the right to privacy and reproductive health. Finally, we will demonstrate the noncontentious and jurisprudential consensus in certain cases of access to termination of pregnancy with respect to the pronouncements issued by the Human Rights Protection Systems.
