    • Abstract:
      On May 14 2007, the U.N. Committee of Human Rights found that Colombia breached equality provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) when it rejected a pension transfer to a member of a same sex couple. The Committee stated that the refusal to grant X his same sex partner's pension amounts to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, which is prohibited under Article 26 of the ICCPR.
