Right to health and criminalization of same-sex conduct and sexual orientation, sex-work and HIV transmission 2010, para. 24
Párrafo
Paragraph text
As with all human rights, States are required to take steps to respect, protect and fulfil the right to health. The criminalization of private, consensual same-sex conduct creates an environment that is not conducive to affected individuals achieving full realization of their right to health. Health services must be accessible for all, without discrimination, especially for the most vulnerable or marginalized sections of the population. The repeal of laws criminalizing consensual same-sex conduct between adults helps to ensure compliance with this State obligation.
