Casablanca expert Group welcomes Pope Leo XIV\u2019s commitment to the universal abolition of surrogacy.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Paris – \u00a09 january 2026<\/i><\/p>\n

The Casablanca expert Group for the universal abolition of surrogacy welcomes the clear and consistent position taken by Pope Leo XIV, expressed during his address to the Diplomatic Corps, in which he follows in the footsteps of his predecessor, Pope Francis,\u00a0by promoting the universal abolition of surrogacy.<\/b><\/p>\n

By recalling that surrogacy turns pregnancy into a commercial service, Pope Leo XIV underscores that this practice violates the fundamental rights of the child, reduces the child to the object of a contract, and is based on the exploitation of the bodies of the most vulnerable women. This stance reflects a rigorous vision of human dignity and the protection of the weakest.<\/p>\n

This continuity with Pope Francis<\/b>, who also advocated for the abolition of surrogacy and expressed his explicit support for this cause during a private meeting at the Vatican with Olivia Maurel, spokesperson for the Casablanca expert Group, confirms the importance of this commitment to human rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurrogacy is based on the commodification of women\u2019s bodies and the contractualisation of the child. This assessment stems neither from ideology nor from religion, but from a fundamental requirement of human rights and human dignity.<\/b>\u201d – Olivia Maurel, spokesperson for the Casablanca expert Group<\/p>\n

A strictly non-partisan and non-confessional international collective, the Casablanca expert Group brings together more than 150 experts, lawyers, physicians, academics, and human rights defenders, from diverse backgrounds. Its work is grounded in international law, the protection of women, and the fundamental rights of the child.<\/p>\n

As the global surrogacy market continues to expand, the Casablanca expert Group calls on States and international institutions to act without delay to place the universal abolition of surrogacy firmly on the human rights agenda.<\/p>\n

Le Groupe d\u2019experts de Casablanca salue l\u2019engagement du pape L\u00e9on XIV pour l\u2019abolition universelle de la gestation pour autrui<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Paris – \u00a09 janvier 2026<\/i><\/p>\n

Le Groupe d\u2019experts de Casablanca pour l\u2019abolition universelle de la gestation pour autrui (GPA) salue la prise de position claire et coh\u00e9rente du pape L\u00e9on XIV, exprim\u00e9e lors de son discours au corps diplomatique, dans laquelle il suit les pas de son pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseur, le pape Fran\u00e7ois,\u00a0en promouvant l\u2019abolition universelle de la gestation pour autrui.<\/b><\/p>\n

En rappelant que la GPA transforme la grossesse en un service marchand, le pape L\u00e9on XIV souligne que cette pratique viole les droits fondamentaux de l\u2019enfant, r\u00e9duit celui-ci \u00e0 l\u2019objet d\u2019un contrat, et repose sur l\u2019exploitation du corps des femmes les plus vuln\u00e9rables. Cette d\u00e9marche s\u2019inscrit dans une vision exigeante de la dignit\u00e9 humaine et de la protection des plus faibles.<\/p>\n

Cette continuit\u00e9 avec le pape Fran\u00e7ois<\/b>, qui avait lui aussi d\u00e9fendu l\u2019abolition de la GPA et exprim\u00e9 son soutien explicite \u00e0 ce combat lors d\u2019une rencontre priv\u00e9e au Vatican avec Olivia Maurel, porte-parole du Groupe d\u2019experts de Casablanca, confirme l\u2019importance de cet engagement pour les droits humains.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0La GPA repose sur la marchandisation du corps des femmes et la contractualisation de l\u2019enfant. Ce constat ne rel\u00e8ve ni d\u2019une id\u00e9ologie ni d\u2019une confession, mais d\u2019une exigence fondamentale de droits humains et de dignit\u00e9 humaine.<\/b>\u00a0\u00bb – Olivia Maurel, porte-parole du Groupe d\u2019experts de Casablanca<\/p>\n

Collectif international strictement non partisan et non confessionnel, le Groupe d\u2019experts de Casablanca r\u00e9unit plus de 150 experts \u2014 juristes, m\u00e9decins, universitaires et d\u00e9fenseurs des droits humains \u2014 de tous horizons. Il fonde son action sur le droit international, la protection des femmes et les droits fondamentaux de l\u2019enfant.<\/p>\n

Alors que le march\u00e9 mondial de la GPA continue de s\u2019\u00e9tendre, le Groupe d\u2019experts de Casablanca appelle les \u00c9tats et les institutions internationales \u00e0 agir sans d\u00e9lai pour inscrire l\u2019abolition universelle de la gestation pour autrui \u00e0 l\u2019agenda des droits humains.<\/p>\n

E<\/b>l Grupo de expertos de Casablanca saluda el compromiso del Papa Le\u00f3n XIV con la abolici\u00f3n universal de la gestaci\u00f3n subrogada<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Par\u00eds \u2013 9 de enero de 2026<\/i><\/p>\n

El Grupo de expertos de Casablanca para la Abolici\u00f3n Universal de la Gestaci\u00f3n Subrogada saluda la posici\u00f3n clara y coherente del Papa Le\u00f3n XIV, expresada durante su discurso al cuerpo diplom\u00e1tico, en la que sigue los pasos de su predecesor, el Papa Francisco,\u00a0promoviendo la abolici\u00f3n universal de la gestaci\u00f3n subrogada.<\/b><\/p>\n

Al recordar que la esta pr\u00e1ctica convierte el embarazo en un servicio mercantil, el Papa Le\u00f3n XIV subraya que esta pr\u00e1ctica viola los derechos fundamentales del ni\u00f1o, reduci\u00e9ndolo a objeto de un contrato, y se basa en la explotaci\u00f3n del cuerpo de las mujeres m\u00e1s vulnerables. Esta postura se inscribe en una visi\u00f3n exigente de la dignidad humana y de la protecci\u00f3n de los m\u00e1s d\u00e9biles.<\/p>\n

Esta continuidad con el Papa Francisco<\/b>, quien defendi\u00f3 la abolici\u00f3n del mercado de la maternidad subrogada y expres\u00f3 su apoyo expl\u00edcito a esta causa durante un encuentro privado en el Vaticano con Olivia Maurel, portavoz del Grupo de expertos de Casablanca, confirma la importancia de este compromiso para los derechos humanos.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa maternidad subrogada se basa en la mercantilizaci\u00f3n del cuerpo de las mujeres y la contractualizaci\u00f3n del ni\u00f1o. La causa de la abolici\u00f3n no responde a una ideolog\u00eda ni a una confesi\u00f3n, sino a una exigencia fundamental de derechos humanos y dignidad humana.<\/b>\u201d – Olivia Maurel, portavoz del Grupo de expertos de Casablanca<\/p>\n

Colectivo internacional estrictamente no partidista y no confesional, el Grupo de expertos de Casablanca re\u00fane a m\u00e1s de 150 expertos \u2014juristas, m\u00e9dicos, acad\u00e9micos y defensores de los derechos humanos\u2014 de todos los \u00e1mbitos. Su acci\u00f3n se fundamenta en el derecho internacional, la protecci\u00f3n de las mujeres y los derechos fundamentales del ni\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

Mientras el mercado mundial de la maternidad subrogada contin\u00faa expandi\u00e9ndose, el Grupo de expertos de Casablanca hace un llamado a los Estados y a las instituciones internacionales a actuar sin demora, para incorporar la abolici\u00f3n universal de la gestaci\u00f3n subrogada en la agenda de derechos humanos.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
