Well-structured LCP4807 Assignment 2 (ANSWERS) Semester 2 2024 - DISTINCTION GUARANTEED. (DETAILED ANSWERS - DISTINCTION GUARANTEED!)..... The Republic of Qrose in the African continent has one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world. Qrose is a democratic country with the Constitution, which is a replica of the Constitution of South Africa, 1996. Qrose has ratified UN human rights instruments such as the UDHR, ICCPR (including its optional protocols), ICESCR, CEDAW (including its optional Protocols). Qrose has also ratified the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and all the other AU Conventions and Protocols including the Protocol to the African Charter on the Rights of Women. Article 116 of the Qrose Penal Code of 1935 criminalises abortion in all circumstances, except where abortion is performed to save the life of the woman. On the 13th of June 2020 Tambu, a 13-year-old girl was repeatedly raped by a 48-year- old man. She became pregnant and wanted to terminate the pregnancy. She was denied an abortion in three hospitals and forced to carry the pregnancy to term. The Constitutional Court of Qrose has repeatedly in previous judgments found that Article 116 of the Penal Code was constitutional. Appalled by the legal environment in Qrose, the African Centre for Women Justice (ACWJ), an International Non-Governmental Organisation specialising on issues of reproductive health, approaches you as an expert in human rights for a legal opinion. They would like to institute legal proceedings against the Republic of Qrose before the CEDAW Committee. Using CEDAW and its Optional Protocol as well as other relevant conventions, sources and cases, write a legal opinion for ACWJ. Among others reflect on the following: a) Procedural issues regarding admissibility of cases before the CEDAW committee. b) The various rights infringed by Article 116 of the Penal Code of Qrose. c) Remedies to be claimed. In general- your arguments should indicate whether the action of Qrose is inconsistent with Qrose’s international human rights obligations or not.

Assignment 2 Semester 2 2024

INTRODUCTION

The Republic of Qrose's abortion law, as codified in Article 116 of the Penal Code of 1935, is
one of the most restrictive in the world, permitting abortion only to save the life of the woman.
This legal framework has resulted in severe violations of women's rights, as illustrated by the
case of Tambu, a 13-year-old girl who was denied an abortion after becoming pregnant due to
rape. Given Qrose's ratification of several international human rights instruments, including
CEDAW and its Optional Protocol, the African Centre for Women Justice (ACWJ) seeks to
challenge the constitutionality of Article 116 before the CEDAW Committee. This legal opinion
will address the procedural issues of admissibility, the substantive rights infringed by Qrose's
