CCPR/C/116/D/2324/2013 Annex III Individual opinion of Committee member Sir Nigel Rodley (concurring) 1. I entirely support the findings of the Committee in this sad case. I wish, however, to underline that the refusal of the State party to allow for terminations even in the case of fatal foetal abnormality cannot even be justified as being for the protection of the (potential) life of the foetus. In addition, not only has article 7 been violated cumulatively (see paragraph 7.6), but by the very requirement that a pregnant woman carrying a doomed foetus is subjected to the anguish of having to carry the pregnancy to term. 25
