EU plans to fight for LGBT rights worldwide
13 07 2010

The Council of the European Union on June 30 adopted a "Toolkit to Promote and Protect the Enjoyment of All Human Rights by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People."

The kit details what the EU should be doing to defend LGBT human rights in other nations.

It calls on diplomats, the new European External Action Service, and EU member states to actively work for decriminalization of same-sex relations worldwide, to further denounce discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, and to support human rights defenders in repressive countries.
