Concluding Observations on Report 2-3 (2017) (Link)

22. The Committee is also concerned at de jure and de facto discrimination against lesbian, gay and bisexual children, in particular the criminalization of consensual same-sex conduct between men under the Criminal Code (1990), which may penalize boys above 16 years of age for same-sex sexual activity. It is also concerned about the perception, reflected in policies and practices, that lesbian, gay and bisexual children have a psychosocial disorder.

23. The Committee recommends that the State party repeal the legal provisions criminalizing same-sex conduct between males above 16 years of age, that it raise public awareness of the equality of and the importance of not discriminating against lesbian, gay and bisexual people and that it fully respect the diversity of children’s sexual orientation.
