Re GREAT LAKES INITIATIVE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEVELOPMENT (GLIHD)
The Court held that restricting legal abortion to recognized medical doctors is a legislative policy aimed at protecting the right to life and health, does not violate constitutional rights to life, health, equality, non-discrimination, physical and mental integrity, or privacy, and is not inconsistent with Rwanda's constitutional or international obligations. The Court found no evidence of discrimination or violation of privacy and determined that expanding abortion providers is a policy matter, not a constitutional issue.
