Moses Foh-Amoaning, Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, has called on African legislators to firmly resist advocacy efforts for LGBTQ+ rights, arguing that claims linking such rights to international human rights law are misleading and unsubstantiated.
Addressing participants at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values on Thursday, June 4, 2026, Mr. Foh-Amoaning urged lawmakers not to be swayed by the argument that LGBTQ+ rights are protected under international legal frameworks. “Don’t be fooled by the human rights argument. It is a lie from hell,” he warned, asserting that advocacy groups are pursuing a deliberate agenda built on what he described as deceptive narratives.
“This is an agenda-seeking set of people who are clear on what they want and their hallmark is deception and that’s what I want to expose,” he told the conference.
Mr. Foh-Amoaning further contended that references to sexual rights, constitutional rights, and human rights in support of LGBTQ+ issues lack grounding in international law. “So when you hear them talking about human rights, sexual rights, constitutional rights, it’s all false,” he declared.
He reassured conference participants that standing against LGBTQ+ rights would not put them in violation of international legal obligations, suggesting such fears are unfounded. “I want this conference not be fooled by anybody and say okay we’re afraid because we’re going to be fighting or conflicting with some international law framework,” he said.
According to Mr. Foh-Amoaning, LGBTQ+ rights have never been formally included in international legal instruments, but have rather been introduced through interpretation and external pressure. “My point is LGBTQ rights have never been part of the international legal framework. They were implied and they were forced into our laws,” he argued.
The conference brought together parliamentarians, policymakers, and advocates from across Africa and beyond to deliberate on family values, national sovereignty, and social policy in a rapidly changing world.
