The theme of the report is "Protection against violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in relation to the human right to freedom of expression, association and assembly." To this end, the expert is seeking information on legal regulations on the protection of people from violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and "gender identity" in UN member countries. The report will form the basis of the Council's work on the issue, which includes developing new guidelines and monitoring progress in complying with SOGI.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The report thus essentially has two objectives. First, to examine laws, practices and policies that, as the author points out, unlawfully restrict, explicitly or implicitly, freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly based on sexual orientation or gender identity. On the other hand, the report will make recommendations to States and other stakeholders to ensure that their laws and policies are consistent with their obligations under international law.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the submitted opinion, the Institute's experts pointed out that Polish legislation broadly protects against violence and discrimination, and implies equality before the law, which guarantees extend to everyone, regardless of their individual characteristics. They also pointed out that while the rights to freedom of assembly, association or freedom of speech enjoy broad freedom, the Polish legislature has also provided for control mechanisms when they are exercised in a manner inconsistent with their purpose.</p> <p>In Poland, restrictions on freedom of assembly are regulated in the Law on Assemblies. This law specifies what types of assemblies are covered by the restrictions, what are the prerequisites for restricting freedom of assembly and what are the means by which freedom of assembly can be restricted. Thus, the Institute's experts pointed out that there are no grounds for claiming that the right to freedom of assembly in Poland can be exercised in a way that would violate the rights of SOGI or any rights of others. If violations of the law occur at any stage of an assembly, it can be dissolved.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Institute's experts pointed out that freedom of association is one of the fundamental human rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Freedom of association may also be restricted in certain cases, but only as provided by law and to the extent necessary to protect public order, public safety, public health or public morals. Restrictions on freedom of association may be imposed by law, but must be consistent with the Constitution and international law. A law introducing restrictions on freedom of association must specify what types of associations are covered by the restrictions, the grounds for restricting freedom of association, and the means by which freedom of association may be restricted. Thus, this right should be considered particularly important also because its restriction has restrictive premises.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Likewise, the constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression and the acquisition and dissemination of information. The experts noted that the Constitutional Court, in interpreting Article 54 of the Constitution, pointed out that the word "view" used in its content, in accordance with the position taken in the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court and the doctrine, should be interpreted as broadly as possible, not only as the expression of personal judgments about facts, but also suppositions and opinions.In the Court's view, Article 54(1) of the Constitution protects all lawful forms of expression that allow an individual to externalize and expose his or her own position, and living in a society in which freedom of speech is protected teaches tolerance for views different from one's own, which is essential for the normal functioning of a pluralistic society.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the opinion, the institute stressed that human rights are subject to gradation, a point already made by John Locke in his 1690 work "Two Treatises on Government." Locke argued that there are certain rights that are inalienable and not subject to limitation, such as the right to life, liberty and property. The division of rights into absolute rights and relative rights was later adopted by other philosophers and jurists, such as Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill and Hans Kelsen.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In conclusion, the opinion noted that the term "gender identity" itself does not appear in any binding human rights act, and to the extent that it is interpreted in isolation from biological sex, it is an ideological term to which human rights should not yield.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">"Poland has broad regulations on protection against discrimination that apply to all individuals. In the context of an interpretation that expands the catalog of human rights, which some people apply in a legally unjustified manner, often guided by emotions, instead of relevant and legally binding acts of international law, one cannot agree to limit other rights (such as freedom of assembly, association or expression) with an already well-established position and rank, not only in Poland, but in any democratic society," says Julia Ksiazek of the Center for International Law.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--body--aktualnosc.html.twig' -->

class="text-align-justify"><strong>· The UN General Assembly's Third Committee - the largest UN body responsible for addressing human rights issues - has approved a draft resolution on the elimination

Nations General Assembly for final adoption.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· The text of the resolution contains many references to "gender identity," "gender stereotypes" and "negative social norms" as sources of violence against women. It also identifies "access to safe abortion" within the limits of state laws as one of the policies that governments should pursue to "ensure the promotion and protection of the human rights of all women and their sexual and reproductive health."</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· Adoption of the resolution was preceded by a lively discussion of nine amendments proposed by Guatemala, Egypt, Libya and Nigeria, among others, aimed at removing or clarifying references to ambiguous abortion terms, gender stereotypes and the concept of femicide.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· All amendments were rejected, and the draft resolution was adopted with 166 votes in favor.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· Poland did not take part in the vote on the final draft of the resolution, nor in the vote on the amendment to delete an item that could be interpreted as counting abortion as a human right. Instead, it voted against eight amendments to clarify other vague terms.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">On November 10, the UN General Assembly's Third Committee on Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Affairs adopted a draft resolution entitled. "Stepping up efforts to prevent and eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls: gender stereotypes and negative social norms."  The resolution sees the causes of violence against women as ambiguously framed "gender stereotypes" and "negative social norms." The draft calls on states to ensure the promotion and protection of women's human rights and their sexual and reproductive rights, including methods of modern "emergency contraception" and "safe abortion."</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Most of the resolution's provisions focus on the elimination of "gender inequality" and "stereotypes" as necessary steps to combat the problem of violence against women. However, no clear definition is given for terms such as "gendered violence," "gendered values" or "negative social norms." Meanwhile, these are terms around which the entire document is built, and which are often used by the UN system and specialized agencies to promote abortion and gender ideology on a large scale.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">During the debate that took place in the Third Committee on the approval of the text, some member state delegations distanced themselves from ambiguous terms such as "intersectional forms of discrimination" or "women in all their diversity" (which most often refers to so-called transgender people) and the paragraph listing abortion among human rights. The countries pointed out that the document contains conditions not based on consensus, which are not recognized in international law. Egypt's representative, also speaking on behalf of Libya, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia, pointed out that "the Third Committee has before it a text that is the result of attempts to impose conditions that divide and that do not stem from international consensus." According to the member states proposing the amendments, the issue of violence against women and girls should not be used as a pretext for adopting ambiguous provisions that have not been agreed upon in intergovernmental debate.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In this context, the Holy See's observer also noted that despite consistent objections raised by numerous delegations, the text of the resolution contains many controversial and ambiguous formulations on which there is no consensus among UN states. Moreover, the Holy See also stressed that safe abortion should never be promoted as a means of family planning.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">For his part, the Czech representative, speaking on behalf of the European Union member states - and therefore Poland as well - expressed deep regret over the decision of a small group of countries to submit amendments that "undermine the consensus on such an important issue." The representative voted against all the proposed amendments and urged other delegations to do the same.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Polish delegation abstained from voting on the draft resolution, and when it came to supporting the only amendment to delete paragraph 5(a) of the resolution - a passage that could be interpreted as counting abortion as a human right - Poland did not support the initiative of the delegation of countries that raised the issue, also failing to vote on the amendment.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">During the debate, Poland could have at least expressed reservations, for example, about the meaning it intends to give to phrases like "sexual and reproductive health," but did not do so. Thus, among the countries deliberating at the UN, there was no European country that stood up for the right to life, leaving this role in principle to African countries. The Guatemalan delegation stressed, among other things, that abortion is not regulated by any international law binding on the country, and that Guatemalan law protects human life from conception. Similarly, Cameroon's representative pointed out that under domestic law "abortion is not a human right." Ethiopia indicated that it recognizes abortion only in exceptional circumstances, adding further that, in its understanding, sex can only be male or female. Mauritania's delegate, voting in favor of the resolution, however, explicitly disassociated himself from the term "safe abortion," noting that abortion is not considered a human right by his country.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">"Although the resolution is not a document binding on UN member states, the practice adopted by the Polish delegation is cause for concern. Poland has once again not only failed to support the attempt to protect the right to life of the unborn child in the international arena, but has not even taken a position on the issue. For the second time in two months, Poland, despite numerous earlier appeals by the Ordo Iuris Institute, has taken the same - passive - position at the UN on the fundamental issue of respecting the right to life, not the right to kill as a human right." - Veronica Turetta, an analyst at the Ordo Iuris Center for International Law, points out.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--body--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> Kategoria } <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--image.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_formatter' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * image-formatter--node--aktualnosc--field-zdjecie.html.twig x image-formatter.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_style' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/artykul_full/public/2022-12/AdobeStock_496043819_Editorial_Use_Only.jpeg?itok=Jc8C4gXp" width="250" height="125" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" /> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div>Adobe Stock</div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-tagi--aktualnosc.html.twig x field--node--field-tagi.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-tagi.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> <hr> <ul class="tags_list"> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/abortion" hreflang="pl">abortion</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/human-rights" hreflang="pl">human rights</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/resolution" hreflang="pl">resolution</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/united-nations" hreflang="pl">United nations</a></li> </ul> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> Thu, 15 Dec 2022 10:00:43 +0000 filip.bator 1389 at https://en.ordoiuris.pl Alliance for the Common Good -

Mr. Szánthó, who also serves as the Vice President of the Alliance for the Common Good (ACG), pointed out that the battle is between liberal globalist and sovereignist localist forces, and while “in Central and Eastern Europe we have managed to defeat Marxism, we had to realize that a slightly revised version of the same ideology triumphed in the West.” As a result the Left has gone crazy with identity politics. This has also led to Western, nominally Christian Democratic parties abandoning all their principles for the sake of power, which they eventually lost anyway. The conclusion we must draw, is that what is left of the true Europe is today found here, in Central Europe. The ACG will act to protect this real Europe.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">“Organizations from different parts of Europe have gathered here in Budapest today for one purpose - to form a common coalition to protect true values, sovereignty, human rights, freedom of expression and academic freedom,” said Karolina Pawłowska, the President of the new organization. She explained that the ACG was fundamentally opposed to the relativization of Human Rights, and deploying them to harm humanity. “It is not enough to act alone - in order to really change something, we have to act together.

class="text-align-justify"><strong>● In June/July 2021, the 47th General Assembly of the United Nations Human Rights Council took place.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>● The conference programme had mainly envisaged the discussion on the rights of women and their situation around the world.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>● In reality, the meeting mainly focussed on the plans for the introduction of the gender ideology and the ideological concept of ‘reproductive and sexual rights’.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>● During the session, an Independent UN Expert presented a report on gender equality, in which he explicitly stated that he did not include critical opinions on gender ideology, considering them as ‘hate speech’.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>● In the report on Romania, the need for promoting ‘gender perspective’ as early as at school level was indicated. The experts did not approve of the fact that the Romanian society affirms maternity.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the period between June 21 and July 9, 2021, the 47th General Assembly of the United Nations Human Rights Council took place. The aim of the assembly was to discuss the topic of respecting women’s rights in the world dominated by COVID and the “responsibility for women in the conditions of humanitarian aid”.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In fact, however, the ‘sexual and reproductive rights’ slogan was discussed throughout the session, even though the concept does not even have an internationally accepted definition. It is an ideological slogan that is overused for purely political purposes, preceding such radical demands as on-demand abortion accessibility, or vulgar sex education, among other elements.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">It was clearly emphasised at the meeting that the possibility of the murder of a conceived child should be recognised as a fundamental human right, although the speakers were certainly aware that states repeatedly opposed attempts to create such a legal structure, and that international treaties clearly support the right to life.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The theory of gender-based violence has also been referred to many times, although it also does not have a single, binding legal definition, and many states are increasingly often expressing doubts about this concept. The inefficiency of the gender perspective in the combat against violence is evidenced by numerous data and statistics (i.a. Agency for Fundamental Rights, OECD and WHO).</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In spite of this, many speakers, including the Women Executive Director, Ms. Phumzile Mlambo Ngcuka, emphasised the need for a wider incorporation of the gender policy, even in such aspects as e.g. the mechanisms of the justice system.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Meanwhile, the gender perspective raises serious reservations not only because of its ineffectiveness and detachment from the real needs of women, but also because of its ideological character. One of its main assumptions is to undermine the existence of objective differences between women and men and the conviction that feminity and masculinity are only social constructs that arose as a result of the battle of the sexes. The Polish Constitution (similar to a number of constitutions of other countries) is free of the gender perspective, but</p> <p class="text-align-justify">it is of particular importance in the context of its Art. 18, stating that “Marriage as a relationship between a woman and a man, family and motherhood and parenthood are under the protection and care of the Republic of Poland”.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Report free of any critic</p> <p class="text-align-justify">During the session, the report by Victor Madrigal-Berloz, Independent Expert on violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, was also presented. As announced by the author himself, the aim of the report was to promote ‘feminist thinking’ and to assess the alleged threats to human rights resulting from the existence of ‘gender norms and structures’. Before commencing work on the report, the Expert invited interested parties for consultation, which the Ordo Iuris Institute took advantage of when submitting its substantive comments.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the content of the report presented during the session, in the place where the author thanked for the large participation in the consultation, there was the information that “A relatively small number of other reports were hateful or contained hate speech and were excluded ad portas. They will not constitute a part of any publication backed by the mandate holder”. Although it has not been explicitly indicated, there is no doubt that the analysis of the Institute, substantive and based on scientific research, but not in line with the radical theses adopted by the Expert, was included in the group of rejected questionnaires. The entire published report of Victor Madrigal-Berloz does not include a single critical mention of the ideological concepts and postulates discussed and promoted by the author. The aim of the report was announced at the beginning (‘promoting feminist thinking’), and this goal was pursued and achieved.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The process of creating this report, starting from its assumptions, through consultations focussed on the adopted thesis, and ending with a publication in which all positions contradicting the ideological line adopted by the author were rejected, shows how little substantive value is carried today by the publications endorsed by organisations such as the United Nations.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Romania under observation</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In addition, a report of the Working Group on discrimination against women and girls in Romania was published during the General Assembly. Its authors analysed national institutions in the field of promoting the gender perspective in the combat against violence, as well as reproductive and sexual rights.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">According to the members of the Working Group, equality should not only be understood as equal treatment of both genders, but legislative and institutional pressure possibilities should also be present in national systems aimed at developing a gender equality measure. It was considered a huge problem that Romanian society still supports the ‘stereotypical’ choices of women, primarily motherhood. In order to change this state of affairs, it was recommended that the gender perspective be promoted as early as at the school stage, e.g. by introducing ‘prejudice-free’ textbooks.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">“The blame for the alleged ‘worldwide retreat from the idea of women’s rights’, which is to be understood as opposition to gender ideology, has been placed on conservative circles and those opposing the politicisation of human rights. This shows that circles promoting a radical left-wing agenda recognise that increasingly audacious attempts to impose an extreme</p> <p class="text-align-justify">ideology on society at large have motivated conservative circles to oppose the ideology that limits their rights and freedom. Indeed, the voice of a society that does not want to be imposed with gender ideology, limit freedom of speech, interfere with the way children are raised and the right of parents to pass on their system of values to their children, is becoming more and more pronounced.

The courts refused to register her as a man in the civil status records, as her legal gender must correspond to her biological gender. As a court of second instance emphasised, changing a person’s appearance does not change their actual gender. However, ECHR considered the decision of the Bulgarian authorities an infringement of the woman’s right to privacy.</span></span></b> </span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">In 2015, a female Bulgarian citizen applied to a court to change her name, registered gender and identification number in the civil status records. She supported the request with medical records which showed that she had previously undergone breast removal surgery, which was to make her look like a man. The court rejected the request, indicating that according to the Bulgarian law there are two genders, and the gender recorded in the civil status records must correspond to the biological gender of the person concerned. Bulgarian law did not provide for the possibility of “sex reassignment”. A similar decision was taken by a court of second instance, which added that a surgery can change a person’s appearance, but cannot change their actual gender.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">In 2016 the woman filed a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, alleging that her right to privacy was violated. ECHR agreed with her, stating that Bulgaria breached Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Court concluded that a part of the right to privacy is “the right to acknowledge the legal effects of sex reassignment”, which was supposedly violated in this case. ECHR remarked that although the Bulgarian law did not provide for the procedure of sex reassignment, the case law allow such a possibility, and the courts in this case did not take account of that case law. </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">“It is yet another judgment of the Court attempting to establish a right to self-define one’s gender despite basic biological facts and the applicable international law. For several years now the Court, in its judgments on the so-called transsexuals, has been reiterating that everyone has the right to choose their own gender, and the state has a duty to recognise this – regardless of whether or not such a person wants to look like the opposite sex. In practice, therefore, the Court requires Member States to treat transsexual women as men, and men with this disorder as women, even if they have not undergone any surgery or hormone therapy. The Court’s case law undermines the fundamental principle of the law of civil status records, which states that personal data – one’s name, registered gender, ID number – should reflect the biological reality. If one’s gender is decided on the basis of one’s subjective feeling, in the nearest future this may lead to the undermining of the identity of marriage as a relationship between a woman and a man,” said Filip Furman, PhD, Director of the Centre for Social Sciences and Bioethics of the Ordo Iuris Institute.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">The case of Y.

Another accusation put forward by the activists was the alleged violation of their freedom of assembly.

Therefore, the LGBT activists that accuse the government of denying them the protection necessary for the safe conduct of the demonstration should provide concrete evidence showing that their lives were genuinely in danger and that the authorities were indeed not willing to help.

Both hospitals, despite staff shortages in maternity wards, refused to employ her because of this. In addition, the city authorities withdrew her scholarship for an obstetric course. The woman complained about religious discrimination to the Equality Ombudsman and court. However, both institutions recognised that abortions are a natural part of the midwifery profession, and the employer, according to the court and the Ombudsman, has the right not to agree to employ a person who does not want to participate in their performance.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">A second nurse who registered for an obstetric course in 2014 was also not employed because of her opposition against performing abortions.

The Court declared both complaints "absolutely unacceptable". According to the judges, it is the state's duty to organise health care in such a way that the conscientious objection of individual medical employees does not impede access to abortion. In the ECtHR's opinion, the introduction of restrictions on the freedom of conscience intends to "protect health" of women who want to have an abortion. Moreover, the Court stated that if national law includes killing an unborn baby in obstetric duties, women who has voluntarily chosen the profession should take this into account.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">"The European Court of Human Rights has put ideology above law, rejecting the complaints of midwives who wanted to follow their profession without participating in the shameful practice of abortion. Article 9 of the Convention guarantees the right to manifest their religious and moral beliefs to everyone, regardless of their profession. Meanwhile, the Court de facto stated that in some professional groups freedom of conscience does not apply. Historically, the midwifery profession has always consisted of receiving births and caring for pregnant women and those in the postpartum period; therefore, one cannot agree with the Court that killing unborn human beings is the essence of the profession. Also, the Court's statement that taking away from midwives the right to conscientious objection serves <b><span style="background:white">“</span></b>health protection<b><span style="background:white">”</span></b> is bizarre - abortion does not cure anything, but it is a procedure during which an unborn human being is killed, said Karolina Pawłowska from the International Law Centre of the Ordo Iuris Institute.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><em><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">Cases Steen v.

The cases concern two families broken up by the child protection office - Barnevernet, on the basis of false accusations of mental problems of the parents. In the first case, the evidence for this was supposed to be "excessive" concern for the children's health. These rulings confirm the phenomenon of systemic violations of human rights in Norway.</span></span></b></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">The first case concerned the marriage of a Swede and a Romanian, who moved to Norway in 2013. They moved to the country with their three sons, who were 13 years old, 8 years old and 6 years old. Shortly after the move, Barnevernet issued an order to immediately take the three boys from their parents because of alleged "insufficient insight into their problems." According to officials, the parents' concern for the children's health was excessive. In the eldest son, the parents began to notice symptoms that might indicate the occurrence of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic disease manifested by excessive flaccidity and tenderness of the skin and by joint instability. The parents also noticed similar symptoms in their younger sons.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">After Barnevernet's intervention, the children were transferred to foster care, and the parents were granted the right to two hours of meetings per month, which were soon limited to four half-hour meetings per year. During the meetings, the parents could not communicate with the boys in their native language - Romanian. The couple appealed the decision to court. In the course of the proceedings, the expert's opinions confirmed that, contrary to Barnevernet's suggestions, the parents did not have mental problems, and their oldest son actually required special care, although it was not determined whether he suffered from EDS. Moreover, it was determined that the eldest boy did not handle well the separation from his parents and wished to return home as soon as possible.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">In 2015 the Superior Court ruled that Barnevernet's decision to take the children from their parents was unfounded. However, the court also ruled that only the eldest boy could return home because the other two allegedly had already bonded with their new place of residence. At the same time, the court granted the parents the right to six six-hour meetings with the two sons per year, under the supervision of a social worker.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">Due to this decision, the children's father lodged a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The ECHR ruled that Norway had violated the father's right to respect for his family life, as guaranteed by Protocol No. 8 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The court drew attention to the inconsistency in the Norwegian court's ruling, which on the one hand declared Barnevernet's decision to be entirely unfounded, and on the other hand annulled it only in the part concerning the oldest boy. In addition, the judges reminded that the state has the duty to make efforts to reunite the child with its biological parents. Meanwhile, throughout the whole separation period, the authorities did not make any efforts in this direction - the allowed meetings between the parents and their children were rare and they could not communicate with each other in their native language.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">The second case concerned a Norwegian married couple, who in 2008 had their 2.5-year-old son taken away by Barnevernet, because of their alleged mental illness. In 2014 The Superior Court upheld Barnevernet's decision, indicating that after six years of separation, the child allegedly felt more connection with his foster carers than with its biological parents. The couple then lodged a complaint with the Strasbourg Court, which, as in the previous case, found that Norway had violated their right to respect for family life.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">"These are further rulings which confirm that Norway has a systemic problem with violating parents' rights. The course of action is as follows - first Barnevernet takes the child away from the parents, often based on anecdotal evidence, then passes it to foster care, where it spends many months, and sometimes several years, and then, even if the court finds the decision of the office to be incorrect, it maintains it in force, citing the loss of bond between the child and its parents. The Strasbourg Court has clearly condemned this reasoning. If the state is the cause of the loss of family ties, it cannot justify keeping children in foster care on this basis. As the biological parents are the child's first carers,” said Karolina Pawłowska, Director of the International Law Centre of the Ordo Iuris Institute.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><em><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">Hernehult v.
