This book critiques human rights standards that relate to abortion at the international and regional human rights level, from the EU, UN, Inter-American and African systems.

It tracks the convergence and divergence, cutting across jurisdictions, to make globally applicable recommendations. It underlines the significance of human rights in making transformative progress on abortion rights. This is a topical, timely and compelling work.
