PBB Dewan Hak Asasi Manusia telah mengeluarkan resolusi mengutuk landmark kekerasan dan diskriminasi terhadap orang-orang LGBT.



Resolusi mengungkapkan keprihatinan "pada tindak kekerasan dan diskriminasi, di semua wilayah dunia, yang dilakukan terhadap individu karena orientasi seksual dan jenis kelamin identitas mereka."

Hal ini juga menyambut "perkembangan positif di tingkat internasional, regional dan nasional dalam memerangi kekerasan dan diskriminasi berdasarkan orientasi seksual dan identitas gender"

Resolusi, yang diusulkan pada awal September, lulus dengan dukungan dari 25 negara (Argentina, Austria, Brasil, Kosta Rika, Kuba, Republik Ceko, Estonia, Perancis, Jerman, Irlandia, Italia, Jepang, Meksiko, Montenegro, Peru, Filipina, Selatan Korea, Rumania, Afrika Selatan, FYR Macedonia, Inggris, Amerika Serikat, Venezuela dan Vietnam).

14 negara memberikan suara menentang gerakan (Algeria, Botswana, Cote Gading, Ethiopia, Gabon, Indonesia, Kenya, Kuwait, Maladewa, Maroko, Pakistan, Rusia, Arab Saudi dan UEA), sedangkan 7 negara termasuk China dan India abstain.

Hanya beberapa anggota PBB memiliki kursi di Dewan Hak Asasi Manusia.

Jessica Stern Komisi Gay dan Lesbian Human Rights International mengatakan: "Dewan HAM telah mengambil langkah fundamental ke depan dengan menegaskan kembali salah satu prinsip utama PBB - bahwa setiap orang adalah sama dalam martabat dan hak-hak.

"Resolusi ini menempatkan PBB pada lintasan untuk mengatasi diskriminasi dan kekerasan kaum LGBT menderita setiap hari di seluruh dunia."
