Condemning Uganda's undemocratic human rights regression.
This resolution condemns Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act, which criminalizes consensual same-sex relationships with penalties including life imprisonment and the death penalty for certain acts. It directly affects LGBTQI+ Ugandans, who face increased violence, evictions, job loss, and barriers to healthcare due to the law's enforcement. The resolution calls on Uganda to repeal the law and supports maintaining U.S. sanctions like visa restrictions for officials involved in human rights abuses and reduced aid. It reflects U.S. government opposition to the law, which has been linked to severe human rights violations against marginalized communities.
