CORRECTION

On page 4 of Press Release GA/9723 issued 8 June, the first paragraph of the statement of Poland should read as follows:

JERZY KROPIWNICKI, Minister of the Council of Ministers, Head of the Government Centre of Strategic Studies of Poland: The Republic’s Constitution is rooted in the strong conviction that the law must protect human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. Hence, Polish law ensures medical, social and legal care for pregnant women. The Government has created a national pro-family policy programme which is intended to strengthen the foundations of family life, provide health care at every stage of life and to educate young people with an emphasis on respect for natural and social human rights.
