The British Government works closely with the Overseas Territories (OTs) on LGBT rights
to ensure that all OTs meet their international human rights obligations in this area.
In September, the UK Solicitor General chaired a human rights session at the annual
conference of OT Attorneys General where LGBT equality was extensively discussed.
The Solicitor General will co-chair a session in November with the Minister for the
Overseas Territories, my noble Friend, the Rt Hon Baroness Anelay of St Johns, on
human rights at the Joint Ministerial Council. We expect all OT Governments to comply
with their evolving international obligations in the field of human rights. Legislating
in this area is for OT Governments.
