Katru otro gadu īpaša Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas Ģenerālasamblejas komisija pieņem lēmumu nosodīt nepamatotus nāvessodus, un pēdējos desmit gadus šajā nosodījumā tika īpaši izcelta cilvēku sodīšana ar nāvi par viņu seksuālo orientāciju. Šogad tika ierosināts svītrot šo izcēlumu, un par labu tam nobalsoja vairākums valstu (79 par un 70 pret), galvenokārt arābu un Āfrikas valstis un Krievija. Latvija balsoja pret, tāpēc Latvija šajā gadījumā ir starp labajām valstīm.
