[RwandaLibre] Uganda: 18 Ambassadors Condemn Anti-Homosexuality Law

 

18 Ambassadors Condemn Anti-Homosexuality Law

AllAfrica.com - 6 hours ago

As Uganda continues to take in the backlash following the enactment
and signing into law of the Anti Homosexuality Act, The Observer
continues to bring you the latest news on this and other stories.

Within the last few minutes, the European Union Head of Delegation in
Uganda Kristian Schmidt has released a terse statement in which
eighteen ambassadors and high commissioners representing western
countries condemn the new law.

Earlier, the World Bank announced that it was withholding $90m meant
for the health sector as it "reviews" the situation.

Below is the EU statement in full and the signatories below it.

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned and disappointed about the
enactment of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill.

We strongly believe that all humans share common indivisible rights.
The Anti-Homosexuality Law contradicts this universal principle and
the Ugandan commitment to protect the fundamental human rights of all
of its citizens.

We would like to remind the Government of Uganda of its constitutional
and international human rights obligations. Having ratified the
African Charter of Human and Peoples' Rights, as well as the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Uganda is
obliged to guarantee the human rights infringed by the
Anti-Homosexuality Law.

Signed by:

Urban Andersson, Ambassador of Sweden

David Angel, Canadian High Commissioner

Alison Blackburne, British High Commissioner

Dónal Cronin, Chargé d'Affaires of Ireland

Stefano A Dejak, Ambassador of Italy

Scott H. DeLisi, U.S Ambassador

Klaus Dieter Düxmann, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany
