- Mellet v Ireland is a finding from the United Nations Human Rights Committee in 2016 that the Republic of Ireland's abortion laws violated human rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights by banning abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormality and by forcing her to travel to the United Kingdom for an abortion. (en)
- Mellet v. Ireland (lett. dall'inglese Mellet contro Irlanda) è stato un caso al vaglio della Convenzione Internazionale sui Diritti Civili e Politici, conclusosi con una constatazione espressa dal Comitato per i Diritti Umani delle Nazioni Unite che rilevò come la legge irlandese sull'aborto abbia violato i diritti umani nel non consentire l'aborto nei casi di anomalie del feto fatali e nell'aver così costretto Amanda Mellet a viaggiare nel Regno Unito per poter abortire. Il governo irlandese in seguito ha offerto a Mellet 30.000€ a titolo di risarcimento e le ha fornito assistenza. (it)

- The Human Rights Committee has called on Ireland to award Ms Mellet compensation and to revise its laws and Constitution to ensure no other woman or girl is forced to endure a similar ordeal. ... It is vital to note that this decision does not relate only to cases of fatal foetal impairment. This decision has much wider implications as it highlights the direct and indirect harm and discrimination resulting from prohibiting abortion in the state, including through criminalisation (en)
- The UN should be protecting these sick babies... instead they are attacking Ireland’s proud pro-life tradition of caring for mothers and babies and trying to bully a sovereign nation into legalising the cruel and barbaric practice of abortion (en)
- The UN Human Rights Committee is now one hundred percent partisan in favour of abortion and never takes account of the hugely damaging effects of abortion on both mother and baby. I have the utmost sympathy for the woman at the centre of today's story but I honestly don't believe abortion is ever the answer. (en)
- The Human Rights Committee has made it clear that to redress the violations that I suffered, the Irish Government must ensure that other women do not live through similar violations of their rights. This cannot happen until Article 40.3.3 is repealed, until abortion is decriminalised and legislation is adopted to enable women to access services in Ireland. (en)
