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 El Salvador endorses the reservations expressed by
other nations with regard to the term "individuals" as we objected to that
term in the Main Committee. It is not in conformity with our legislation
and therefore could give rise to misunderstanding. We therefore express
our reservation with respect to the term "individuals".

The representative of Honduras stated the following:
Pursuant to rule 33 of the rules of procedure, the delegation of
Honduras, in subscribing to the Programme of Action of this Conference,
would like to submit in accordance with rule 38 of the same rules of
procedure, the following statement of reservations, requesting that it be
included in full in the final report.
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.
