UN rights council urged to address colonial roots of anti-gay laws
Original: ❝The UN rights council can't address anti-gay laws without condemning their colonial roots
A Geneva-based commentary argues the UN Human Rights Council cannot meaningfully tackle anti-gay laws around the world without also condemning their colonial origins. Many statutes criminalising same-sex relations in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean were imposed under European colonial rule and remain in force today. The piece calls on UN member states to confront this history when debating LGBT rights.
Why now: Debates over LGBT rights at the UN raise questions about the colonial legacy of laws still criminalising same-sex relations.
