Grenada: Little movement on human rights challenges: Amnesty International submission to the UN Universal Periodic Review, January 2015

In this submission, Amnesty International evaluates the implementation of recommendations made in the previous cycle of the Universal Periodic Review. Amnesty International’s main concerns relate to the continued discrimination affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons and the retention in statute of the death penalty. With regard to the former, Amnesty International is concerned that no meaningful steps have been taken to combat such discrimination. With regard to the latter, the organization is calling for an official moratorium on executions with a view to the eventual total abolition of the death penalty.
