PARIS, France, September 4, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - French Junior Human Rights Minister Rama Yade told the 61st annual conference of non-governmental organisations at UNESCO headquarters in Paris yesterday that she will submit a draft declaration to the UN General Assembly in December aimed at a universal decriminalization of homosexuality.

Using the current French rotation at the presidency of the European Union to press the UN to take a stand in favour of decriminalizing homosexuality, Yade claimed to speak for all EU member states, even those that reject the EU's promotion of homosexuality.
