UN rights council 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
A Geneva-based commentary argues that the UN Human Rights Council cannot meaningfully address anti-gay laws around the world without also condemning their colonial origins. Many statutes criminalising same-sex relations were introduced under European colonial rule and remain on the books after independence. The piece calls on the council to acknowledge this history when tackling LGBT rights.
Why now: Debates at the Human Rights Council over LGBT rights have renewed focus on the colonial legacy of sodomy laws in many countries.
