UN rights body urged to confront colonial roots of anti-gay laws
Original: ❝The UN rights council can't address anti-gay laws without condemning their colonial roots
Debate is under way over whether the UN Human Rights Council can effectively address laws criminalising homosexuality without acknowledging that many were imposed under colonial rule. Commentators argue that condemning such laws while ignoring their colonial origins is inconsistent, and that honest historical reckoning is needed for genuine progress on LGBT rights worldwide.
Why now: Renewed attention to how colonial-era legislation still shapes anti-gay laws debated at the UN Human Rights Council.
