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
