This predictable "soft" initiative follows the procedural ruling of the Tysiac case in ECtHR March 07 which was not a "landmark" ruling as the draft resolution tries to maintain. The decsion dooes not deal with the question of substantive rights, and we all know that IPPF and a national women's abortion group in Poland bankrolled the case.
John Prescott is president of the UK delegation. UK representatives present at the adoption of the draft resolution were John Austin (Labour), Mark Oaten (Lib Dem) and James Clappison (Cons).
