Belize: Homosexuality

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with the government of Belize about the treatment of homosexual men and women in that country.

We regularly raise the treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people with the Government of Belize.

The UK also raised LGBTI rights at Belize’s last Universal Periodic Review at the UN in 2013.
