Introduction

Reproductive rights and policies seek to balance different human rights, ethics and morals, as well as technology. At the same time they concern probably the most intimate sphere of human life. Issues related to reproductive rights are subject of intensive public debate, in which not only politicians, but also many NGO’s and even religious groups take part. All of these actors present essential arguments which should be taken into account when discussing reproductive rights.

The main focus is on the intersection of reproductive rights and human rights, thoroughly investigating the topic with unparalleled thoroughness and scope. We want to transcend debates about the theoretical foundations of these rights but also provided practical guidance for dealing with instances related to reproductive rights. We want to enrich comprehension and promote a more extensive dialogue on the fundamental human rights aspects of reproductive health by incorporating various experiences and legal frameworks from different EU and non-EU countries.

This book will be among the pioneering works that comprehensively examine reproductive rights as an essential component of human rights. It aims to offers an in-depth analysis of the legal framework, as well as the ethical implications and societal consequences associated with these right and provides a comprehensive guide on reproductive rights. As a result, it proves to be an invaluable resource for individuals working in the judiciary and legal field. The book aims to remain up-to-date and extremely pertinent by examining the most recent and crucial legal judgements. The book aims to offer a comprehensive analysis of the legal, ethical and other potential resolution of conflicts between different human rights, specifically in the context of reproductive rights. This resource is highly beneficial for advocacy groups, educational institutions, and policymakers as it facilitates educated discussions and decision-making in the areas of human rights and reproductive health.
