With regard to Recommendations 70.23 to 70.35 all of which related to the abolition of the death penalty, the delegation emphasized that public opinion in Guyana strongly favoured the retention of the death penalty. Guyana noted these recommendations and voluntarily committed to continue to consider and consult on the abolition of the death penalty and to report to the Human Rights Council in two years. With this in mind, Guyana has tabled an amendment to the Criminal Law (Offences) Act which provides for varied sentences for different categories of murder including life imprisonment and lesser sentences of imprisonment, as well as access to parole. This bill will be debated in the National Assembly in October 2010.

In response to the concern CEDAW expressed in its 2001 report regarding the existence of punitive abortion laws that could lead to the practice of clandestine abortions endangering the health of women, the Principality wishes to stress the fact that, given the size of the country, this kind of practice does not occur. In light of our historical and institutional proclivity to protect the right to life in its various phases, as provided for in article 8 of the Constitution and defined in articles 107-109 of the Criminal Code (offences against human life), decriminalizing abortion would entail significant legislative amendments that require a parliamentary majority we cannot currently guarantee. We can, however, commit to examining such amendments in the medium term
