42nd session of the UPR Working Group - Review of Argentina

President,

Sweden acknowledges Argentina’s commitment to and constitutional support for human rights and welcomes positive steps regarding access to legal abortion. However, Sweden would like to make the following recommendations:

1. Strengthen, in all jurisdictions throughout the country, the equal and non-discriminatory application of law 27.610 granting access to legal abortion.
2. Improve the conditions of penal facilities by adopting a legal framework preventing overcrowding.

 Thank you.
