520 |a This article compares differential African religious responses to United Nations initiatives on human rights versus UN development and peace-promoting activities. From family planning to gay rights, what some UN members have promoted as human rights others have characterized as neo-cultural imperialism. In West Africa, the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) was seen as anti-Islamic and triggered mass demonstrations. UN Human Rights Committee attempts to extend the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) to LGBT rights have generated parallel acrimony among Protestant churches in East Africa. African religious leaders nevertheless support UN faith-based initiatives to support peace and development.
