A/CONF.171/13 English Page 142 Pursuant to rule 33 of the rules of procedure of the Conference (A/CONF.171/2), the Argentine Republic joins in the general agreement on the Programme of Action. However, we are submitting in writing pursuant to rule 38 the following reservation, and we request that it be included in full in the final report of the Conference. Chapter II (Principles) Principle 1 The Argentine Republic accepts Principle 1 on the understanding that life exists from the moment of conception and that from that moment every person, being unique and unreproducible, enjoys the right to life, which is the source of all other individual rights. Chapter V (The family, its roles, rights, composition and structure) Paragraph 5.1 The Argentine Republic accepts paragraph 5.1 since, although the family may exist in various forms, in no case can its origin and foundation, i.e., the union between man and woman, which produces children, be changed. Chapter VII (Reproductive rights and reproductive health) Paragraph 7.2 The Argentine Republic cannot accept the inclusion of abortion in the concept of "reproductive health" either as a service or as a method of regulating fertility. This reservation, based on the universal nature of the right to life, also applies to all similar references to this concept. 22.
