Once again, the small nations of Malta and Fiji are standing strong and resolute against the pro-abortion pressures of the United Nations.* “Malta firmly continues to maintain that any position taken or recommendations made regarding women empowerment and gender equality should not in any way create an obligation on any party to consider abortion as a legitimate form of reproductive health rights.” (The permanent representative of Malta, Ambassador Saviour F. Borg)
* Referring to the pro-family propositions in the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child as well as the organization's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Fiji's UN Ambassador Berenado Vunibobo argued for the “primacy of the family structure” and “the right of mothers and fathers to raise their children in accordance with their values and mores.” He went further to criticize population controllers “who would look at children’s ‘rights’ in isolation from the familial context, or seek to weaken the role of mothers and fathers in the care and upbringing of children.”
