UN Committee Says Nicaraguan Pro-Life Laws Violate Torture Convention

This is the first time this committee has reviewed Nicaragua since the country’s government outlawed abortion for any reason three years ago . . . Critics are increasingly concerned with what they view as the politicization of the treaty monitoring system by committees charged with oversight.”
