| UN no longer sees a problem in death-penalty for homosexuals |
|---|
In the last ten years, the UN have always mentioned "sexual orientation" in their resolutions against unjustified executions. On pressure from Arab and African states, this group of persons are no longer included: Morocco and Mali introduced an amendment to delete sexual orientation from the list, claiming the deletion would more accurately reflect the values of African and Islamic nations. The amendment passed by a vote of 79 to 70. |
