Conscientious Objection | International Human Rights Standards in Reproductive Health Care

This document serves to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based framework to guide the development, reform, and implementation of health laws, regulations, and public policies related to conscientious objection in health care in order to ensure they align with the relevant international human rights standards. Thus, it is intended primarily for decision-makers and experts in public health policies and sexual and reproductive rights. It neither prescribes how such laws, regulations, and public policies should be written nor undertakes a sociolegal analysis of why they are written as they are.
