Oh no, I undersstand that it was very close (79 votes to 70, I think?), and that the UK and the majority of Europe (amongst other nations) voted against it. I just don't understand why there would even be the option of voting to remove it. I very much doubt the UN would even have a vote on whether to remove the protection of religous or ethnic peoples from being murdered by the state.

My real problem with it is that there are still many countries that criminalise homosexuality, and still many that punish it with the death penalty - this vote will only serve to reinforce these atrocities as such nations will see the UN no longer sees this as a human rights violation.
