Conclusion
Supra-national governance mechanisms of a continent that does not have a single explicit set
of fundamental values must not interfere with sexual minority rights. That is akin to big
brothering peoples bedrooms and violating their basic human rights to sexual expression
and association. Rather the AU must commit itself and its resources to upholding human
rights, economic justice and comprehensive democratic good traditions and values. Hence
the AU Executive Council ordinarily should not have interfered with the NGO-observer status
of the Coalition of African Lesbians.
