As regards Recommendations 70.47 to 70.53, which refer to decriminalizing consensual same sex relations and discrimination against gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and trans-gender persons, the delegation recalled that Guyana did attempt to include "sexual orientation" in the anti-discrimination clause in the revised constitution but that this was defeated in 2003. Whilst Guyana did not discriminate against persons based on their sexual orientation, it did not deny that interpersonal prejudices existed, based on cultural and religious beliefs. The delegation indicated that Guyana noted these recommendations and voluntarily committed to hold consultations over the next two years and to reflect the outcome of this democratic process in its domestic laws. Recommendations 70.54 and 70.55 were also noted.

The subject of special protection for same-sex couples has appeared on the public agenda in Colombia, and has led to important developments in jurisprudence. The Constitutional Court has on various occasions upheld the right of same-sex couples to equality. It has recognized that a de facto marital union (and the ensuing property rights), access to the mandatory health scheme and access to a survivor's pension must be safeguarded for same-sex couples on the same terms as for heterosexual couples. Colombia now faces the challenge of continuing to advance in this area.
