Chile Abandons OAS LGBTIQ+ Rights Declaration

Chile’s conservative government under President José Antonio Kast has chosen to abstain from a resolution supporting LGBTIQ+ rights within the Organization of American States (OEA). This decision contrasts sharply with previous administrations, including those of socialist and center-right leaders, who had previously supported similar declarations. The move reflects a significant shift in Chile’s approach to human rights issues and international relations.
