New York, 5 October 2023 - The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) joins with other United Nations agencies to welcome yesterday's decision by the Supreme Court of Mauritius to decriminalize same sex relations in Mauritius. The Court ruled that Section 250 of the Mauritian Penal Code, which had criminalized "sodomy", was discriminatory and unconstitutional. "The Supreme Court today overturned an obsolete colonial law and demonstrated its commitment to non-discrimination and leaving no-one behind," said Lisa Singh, the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Mauritius.
