"Paraguay may move toward the legalization of abortion, according to the country's permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva.
Federico Gonzalez said that while abortion is illegal in his country, 'An open debate is going to take place in order to analyze this issue in depth.' He made his comments while attending the 17th session of the U.N. Human Rights Council taking place May 30-June 17.
The Universal Periodic Review is a mechanism of the United Nations which consists of the review of the human rights practices of all countries in the world.
The reviews take place once every four years.
During the current review taking place in Geneva, the country of Norway recommended that Paraguay study 'the scope of illegal and unsafe abortions taking place and introduce measures to protect the universal right of women to life and health.'
'Paraguay is grateful for the 124 recommendations received during its participation in the Universal Periodic Review. All of the recommendations have been accepted,' Gonzalez said."
