France pushes un resolution to decriminalize LGBT+ rights amid Senegal tensions

The French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot announced on social media platform X over the weekend that Paris is introducing a United Nations Human Rights Council resolution to prevent states from criminalizing LGBT+ individuals. This diplomatic move follows the enactment of a strict anti-homosexuality law by Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye two months prior, coinciding with the detention of a French national in Dakar under the same legislation.
