The present report contains concise technical guidance, in accordance with
the request made by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 18/2. The
aim of the report is to assist policymakers in improving women’s health and
rights by providing guidance on implementing policies and programmes to
reduce maternal mortality and morbidity in accordance with human rights
standards.

It highlights the human rights implications for multiple actors in the
policy making, implementation and review cycle, as well as the need for
robust enforcement mechanisms and international assistance and cooperation.
