A/CONF.171/13 English Page 137 As far as the family is concerned, although we are quite clear about what is contained in the document, we would like to express specific reservations on how the term "various forms of family" is going to be interpreted, because the union is between man and woman, as is defined in our Family Code in the Constitution of our Republic.* As far as reproductive rights, reproductive health and family planning are concerned, we wish to express reservations, as the other Latin American countries have done: we should never include abortion within these concepts, either as a service or as a method of regulating fertility.

The delegation of Honduras in supporting the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development bases itself on the Declaration of the Fifteenth Summit of Central American Presidents, adopted at Guácimo de Limón, Costa Rica, on 20 August 1994 and bases itself specifically on the following: (a) Article 65 of the Constitution of the Republic of Honduras, which provides for the fact that the right to life is inviolable, and articles 111 and 112 of the same Constitution, which state that the State must protect the institution of the family and marriage and the right of men and women to contract marriages and common law marriages; (b) The American Convention on Human Rights, which reaffirms that every person has the right to life and that this right will be protected by law and will be protected in general, starting from the moment of conception, based on moral, ethical, religious and cultural principles, which should regulate the international community, and in accordance with the internationally recognized human rights. ________________________ * The representative of El Salvador later corrected his statement as follows: In referring to the family in its various forms, under no circumstances can we change the origin and foundation of the family, which is the union between man and woman from which derive children. /...
