It emphasized that profound culture and religious beliefs, particularly those of the Christian evangelical movement, had strengthened the position against the LGBT issue. The willingness of the Government to discuss this issue openly was a clear indication of its intention to establish a comfort zone with the people of Guyana. The Government was willing to work with civil society on the issue, and emphasized that the final outcome would reflect the democratic will of the people. Kuwait 595.

Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, and on its voluntary commitments and the outcome 598. Kuwait welcomed the very important recommendations made at the Working Group session. During the interactive dialogue, Kuwait had shared the measures it had taken to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, without any politicization or selectivity. Kuwait had shown that the protection of human rights was reflected in its Constitution, including its article 29 relating to equality of rights and duties. 599. The delegation had also provided information on the efforts made by the State to ensure human dignity for all of those living in Kuwait. Human rights had always been a fundamental element in the development of all public policies in the fields of education, health, the environment, the rights of workers, foreign workers, the independence of women, the rights of children, the elderly and those with special needs. 600. Kuwait had approved 114 of the 159 recommendations made during the review in the Working Group, a large number of which were already being implemented. Kuwait had reviewed a number of other recommendations prior to the fifteenth session of the Council. Its response was contained in the addendum to the Working Group report. A number of those recommendations were not supported, as they ran counter to the provisions of the Constitution, Islamic sharia and other laws, or contained inaccurate or incorrect information. Kuwait had approved a further nine recommendations. A total of 123 recommendations had been approved by Kuwait. The fact that Kuwait had not acknowledged certain recommendations did not mean that Kuwait would not apply some of them following amendments to some national laws. 172 GE.11-17043
