UGANDA: "EU Parliament Decries Uganda's Proposed Anti-Gay Law"
Agence France Presse (12.17.09)
The European parliament has issued a statement calling on Uganda's government to reject the harsh "Anti-Homosexuality Bill" now under consideration, and it reminded Uganda of its obligations under international law and the Cotonou Agreement to respect human rights. The statement calls on Ugandan legislators "not to approve the bill and to review their laws so as to decriminalize homosexuality." "Criminalizing adult consensual sex is not only a human rights issue, it goes against good HIV strategy," said Catherine Hawkins, the chief scientific adviser to UNAIDS.
