Prepared under the supervision of Prof. Letitia Van Der Poll, Faculty of Law, University of Western Cape, South Africa. 2010. Gays, lesbians,and laws that criminalise homosexuality in Africa have been the subject of heated public debate in recent times.Criminalisation and attempts at re-criminalisation of homosexuality in some African countries have generated a lot of debate on the issue.The central theme in these debates has been the justification and maintenance of sodomy laws, as against the argument for the repeal of these laws because it violates the rights of gays and lesbians. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2011-06-09T07:22:50Z 2011-06-09T07:22:50Z 2010 Mini Dissertation Ako, EY 10, Debate on sexual minority rights in Africa : a comparative analysis of the situation in South Africa, Uganda, Malawi and Botswana, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/16739> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/16739 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria
