U.S. Votes Against U.N. Ban On Death Penalty For Homosexuality
We were joined by Iraq, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
A United Nations resolution banning the death penalty for homosexuality was opposed by a total of 13 countries in the U.N. Human Rights Council. While several were in Africa and the Middle East, the U.S. surprisingly voted against the measure, as well.
Fortunately the resolution passed on Friday anyway, with 27 countries voting for the measure.
It was brought forward by eight nations?Belgium, Benin, Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, and Switzerland?who have made global LGBT rights a priority. (Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, Costa Rican Vice President Ana Helena Chac?n and other world leaders attended a U.N. LGBT Core Group meeting earlier in the month.)
