Slumber

I meant mostly that I can see how other countries (like Saudi Arabia and some African countries) would not want to sign the document, simply because they do have conservative views within their cultures that would still sort of make it difficult for them to accept homosexuality-- and I do also see how there is a need to be diplomatic in handling this situation (eg, that the declaration is non-binding, if my understanding of what non-binding entails is correct) simply because while supporting equal rights isn't cultural imperialism, that's still a matter of perspective.

I am not sure how the Bill of Human Rights-- or is it Declaration?-- fits into the whole picture, and what the UN's stance on drawing the line between a nation's sovereignty and the UN's need for intervention is, though I'd probably like to check that out.
