Critics of the decision have said that the two were executed for consensual homosexual sex. On September 29th, China joined 12 other countries in voting against a United Nations resolution aimed at condemning countries for executing people for having gay sex. The Human Rights Council resolution asked countries in which the death penalty is legal to ensure that it is not applied "arbitrarily or in a discriminatory manner" or imposed against those under the age of 18, pregnant women, or for adultery, blasphemy and consensual same-sex relations. Despite China's nay vote, the resolution passed with 27 members of the council voting for, 13 against and seven abstaining from the vote. In its opposition to the resolution, China was joined by Bangladesh, Botswana, Burundi, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Iraq, Japan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the United States. Afterward, a US State Department spokesperson said that the US "unequivocally condemns" the application of the death penalty to homosexuality, adultery, and religious offenses, explaining that their vote against the resolution was really only a vote for the death penalty. "We voted against that resolution because of broader concerns with the resolution’s approach in condemning the death penalty in all circumstances, and it called for the abolition of the death penalty altogether," the spokesperson said. The Human Rights Council resolution actually calls upon states that have not already abolished the death penalty to "consider doing so." You can read the full resolution here. China's rationale for voting against the resolution was likely very similar to America's. The country has not abolished the death penalty, in fact, it executes more people each year than the rest of the world combined, though it keeps these statistics secret. Additionally, on the international stage, China is always quick to support giving countries the freedom to handle their own affairs inside their own borders with their own laws, allowing Beijing to brush off criticism regarding human rights abuses from the UN or US. Back in 2010, China voted against a UN General Assembly resolution aimed at reinserting "sexual orientation" into a resolution condemning extrajudicial, summary and arbitrary executions, casting its "nay" vote alongside countries like Benin, Saudi Arabia, Malawi, Somalia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. There are currently six countries where the death penalty is used for people in same-sex relationships: Iran, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Sudan. Gay people in areas of Iraq and Syria that are controlled by ISIS are also at risk of being executed. Homosexuality is not a crime in China. In 2001, it was removed from the country's list of psychiatric disorders. Though, China remains far from a gay-friendly place to live. -- ██████████████████ ██◤◥██ 自由戀愛、多元成家 ██ █◤◢◣◥█ Face to the Ｒight ██ ◤◢██◣◥████████████ ◣◥███◣◥███◤ ██◤ ██ █◣◥███◣◥█◤◢ █◤◢ ██ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.35.220.229 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/gay/M.1507185679.A.8B0.html ※ 編輯: quendigay (114.35.220.229), 10/05/2017 14:41:33 ※ quendigay:轉錄至看板 lesbian 10/05 14:41
