Gay Victory in U.N. Resolution Vote
By Julie Bolcer
Following weeks of intense lobbying by gay activists, member states of the
United Nations voted Tuesday evening to restore "sexual orientation" to a
resolution that condemns extrajudicial killings.
The assembly voted 93 in favor of the United States' proposal to restore the
previous language, with 55 countries against and 27 abstaining. The
assembly then approved the amended resolution with 122 in favor, zero votes
against, and 59 abstentions.
The reference to sexual orientation has been included in the biennial
resolution on extrajudicial, summary, and arbitrary killings since 1999.
Last month, following the introduction of an amendment from Benin on behalf
of the African countries at a meeting of the Third Committee, which deals
with human rights issues, the language was deleted and replaced with a more
general reference to “discriminatory reasons on any basis.” The committee,
which includes all 192 member states of the United Nations, approved the
amendment by a vote of 79-70, with 17 abstentions, and the resolution
without specific reference to sexual orientation passed by a vote of 165-0,
with 10 abstentions, including the United States.
Advocates urged member states to approve an amendment introduced by the
United States to restore the reference to sexual orientation. The vote was
initially scheduled for Monday but postponed for reasons that observers
believe to be procedural.
“We’ve been working intensely with allies and partners to make sure that
we win this vote,” Mark Kornblau, spokesman for the United States Mission
to the United Nations, said before the vote.
In a speech on Human Rights Day less than two weeks ago, Susan E. Rice, the
U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said she was “incensed” about the
vote in the Third Committee and vowed that the U.S. would work to restore
the reference to sexual orientation in the resolution. Her remarks followed
a speech by U.N. secretary-general Ban Ki-moon in which he spoke forcefully
against the criminalization of homosexuality. | k*****e 发帖数: 22013 | 2 yeah! 又恢复了。。。

联合国的决议里面说,反对歧视,包括种族,性别,性取向...等等
有些国家不乐意了,说我们的价值观就是反对同性恋,你们不要强迫我们接受,
于是搞投票,把性取向从里面删掉了,现在又投票加回去。
