Human Rights Watch welcomes the opportunity to submit views on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2023 to the Committee on Legal and Parliamentary Affairs. A list of recommendations to this committee follows at the end of our submission. If the proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill is adopted, it would violate multiple fundamental rights guaranteed under Uganda’s Constitution and international human rights instruments to which Uganda is a party, including the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
