4 reproductive health issue on which the Inter-American Court has not yet established any case law. The instant case also includes a legal analysis of the international standards on the right to equality and non-discrimination from two different perspectives: on the one hand, the responsibility the State has incurred by having denied a group of persons access to a treatment that would have enabled them to overcome a disadvantage they had in terms of the possibility of having their own biological children; on the other, the disproportionate impact that a measure of this kind has on women. These two perspectives will enable the Court to build up its case law on the subject of equality and non-discrimination. Because these issues affect inter-American ordre public, in keeping with Article 35(1)(f) of the Inter-American Court’s Rules of Procedure the Commission is offering the following expert witnesses: 1. Fernando Zegers-Hochschild, who will give testimony concerning the assisted reproductive technique of in vitro fertilization, describing and comparing the technique and procedures used. 2. An expert whose name will be reported in due course, who will testify about and compare the various regulations governing the assisted reproductive technique of in vitro fertilization. 3. Paola Bergallo, who will testify about the international standards on reproductive rights, particularly on arbitrary interferences in private and family life and the principles of equality and non-discrimination. The expert will also discuss what the implications of a State’s ban on the practice of in vitro fertilization are in light of those standards. 4. Paul Hunt, who will give testimony about the concept of “disproportionate impact” as a violation of the principle of equality and nondiscrimination, and how the concept of “disproportionate impact” applies to women when their exercise of their reproductive rights is unduly restricted. The curricula vitae of the experts proposed will be included in the annexes to merits report 85/10. The Commission is advising the Inter-American Court that through a number of communications received in September 2010, subsequent to notification of report 85/10, the petitioner supplied information related to the individual victims named in that report, and persons who were not parties to Case 12,361. Responding to that information, by a communication dated October 20, 2010 the IACHR informed the petitioner that the only information that would be included in the file for future purposes would be that pertaining to the individuals identified by name in report 85/10. Some of the information supplied by the petitioner concerns cases that are still in process with the IACHR.
