ケニア:LGBT団体を人権団体として存在は認める

2023-02-25 14:50:02 | Newsメモ
 2013年にNGOとしての登録を拒まれた連絡協議会。このたび最高裁で登録自体を禁止じたのはダメでしたね、という判決。これが最終決着で、まずは結構なこと。結社の自由は揺るがしてはならない、連絡協議会の設立自体は犯罪ではない、というわけだ。

 まあ同性愛行為、性交は相変わらず違法だが。

BBC Kenya wrong to ban LGBT rights groups from registering - Supreme Court 25 Feb 2023 By Ferdinand Omondi in Nairobi & Alex Binley in London

Kenyan authorities were wrong to ban the gay community from registering a rights organisation, the country's Supreme Court has ruled.

Yet at the same time it stressed that gay sex remains illegal.

The judges ruled three-to-two that the country's NGO board was wrong to stop the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (NGLHRC) from registering in 2013.

As Kenya's highest court, the Supreme Court's ruling cannot be overturned.


Nevertheless, the ruling is bitter-sweet for Kenya's gay community. Laws which were introduced under British colonial rule mean that it is criminal to have sex that "is against the order of nature", which can result in up to 14 years in prison.

In May 2019, Kenya's high court rejected an attempt to overturn these laws.


 以下、状況の解説が入っているので、この課題に通じていないなら読むに値する。
 最近、同性愛嫌悪がケニアで高まっているが―

The ruling comes at a time when homophobic rhetoric has been rising in Kenya.

Members of the LGBTQI+ community have been harassed by police, subjected to body examinations to "prove" gay sex, and openly insulted on social media and in public spaces. Some say they have even been denied healthcare and thrown out of rental houses for being gay.


 近隣諸国でも同様、ウガンダではムスリムのトップからして反同性愛を公言、これを全土に広げようとすると。

It is also illegal to have gay sex in neighbouring Uganda, where Muslim leaders used Friday prayers to preach against homosexuality.

The head of the country's Muslims, Mufti Sheikh Ramathan Mubajje, called on the authorities to enact even tougher laws against same-sex relations.


Last week, President Yoweri Museveni said Uganda would not embrace homosexuality and that the West should stop trying to impose its views and "normalise" what he called "deviations".

 ウガンダの大統領としても同様。

 とまあ。西欧の理屈には従わないぞ、ということまで言っているようで―つまり。同性愛に対する許容・嫌悪の軸は確実にあるが、西欧の「同性愛嫌悪の連中はうちの市民として認めないぞ!」というのはムスリム系・アフリカ系への排除を微妙に含み得るという点、読み取るべきなのだろう(読み取らせようとしてこういう説明を書くのだろう)。

 この点、世界観・生活観の闘争にまで至るわけで―アフリカ諸国がしばしば・微妙にロシアに対する許容・親近感を持つのもそれなりに理解できようというものである。

BBC Ban on gay rights group unlawful - Kenyan court 24 Feb 2023 By Ferdinand Omondi

Kenya's Supreme Court has ruled that it was wrong for the authorities to ban the gay community from registering a rights organisation.

In a split decision the majority of judges ruled that Kenya's NGO board should have allowed the registration of an LGBTQ group - called National Gays and Lesbians Human Rights Commission - which it had blocked in 2013.


In its ruling, however, the Supreme Court stressed that gay sex remained illegal in Kenya.
