The Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that everyone is equal and entitled to the same rights and freedoms, regardless their race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. But, violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation have been happening around the world. Further more, capital punishment. In this case the use of capital punishment by country who refuse LGBT. The debate, discussion, and negotiation, about eliminating the use of capital punishment towards minor sexual orientation and gender identity As a country who in uncertain situation about LGBT, Iraq doesn’t stand for any religion orientation or culture. Iraq have law awaiting court rulling of persecution by organised non-state agents and began to discuss it, whether we’ll take capital punishment or respect LGBT as a equal human being, and to respect the Convention of Human Rights in Geneva about Gay Rights Protection Resolution Passes in 2011. Iraq will strengthen the efforts to stop violence and discrimination to LGBT. With provisions, this LGBT activity, not maried, make no harm such as rape, and make no public display affection too much that invite commotion in public whom still take this as a taboo issue. Iraq will also protect the under age of minor sexual orientation and gender identity. Taking an active role in this issue and also encourage for another country who still disagree of eliminating capital punishment towards LGBT, Iraq, would like to attempt further on: 1. Decides to, continue our efforts in respect LGBT with some provisions to introduced in Middle East countries with the help of UNHRC, ILGA (International Lesbian and Gay Association), and any other United Nation agencies. 2. Urging the WHO and any other United Nations agencies who related tho this issue to provide parties who still reject any LGBT activity or even give capital punishments with scientific evidence about sexual orientation problem. 3. Encouraging Middle East to discuss or negotiate, to discover the solutions to the current condition and the current law (capital punishments) in Middle East. 4. Takes note with deep concern of the continued of violence and discrimination to LGBT, whether in national or international level. 5. Call UNHRC to help our court to make law about LGBT law and rights as soon as possible, so Iraq could take a clear decission, and a clear policy about LGBT in Iraq. 6. Takes note with deep concern about the use of capital punishment towards minor sexual orientation and gender identity who still under age, which is forbidden to be sentences to death penalty based on the Convention on The Rights of the Child,

and Iraq will report it directly to UNHRC and UNICEF and any other United Nation Agencies who related. Iraq believes that this issue are all countries problem, so all countries have to resolved this issue together with diplomacy.
