This recognizes the right of same-sex adults to have consenting sexual activities in privacy.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling effectively decriminalizes homosexual sex in the country. The decision has far-reaching implications for human rights and the role of religion in Dominica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that there may be certain persons who are of the opinion that the way the state presented their case we did not defend the case and I would like to say that is not a correct characterization of what happened,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Sobers-Joseph continued, \u201cWith a constitutional claim when it is filed with an affidavit, you will often find an affidavit in reply, and if a document, in this case, is seen and there is no defense written anywhere on it&#8230; I would like to clarify that an affidavit in reply known as a defense in constitutional claim was filed on behalf of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She explained that at the time the affidavit was filed, the state presented, and was quoted in the court judgement, \u201cthe law being as it was then, was subject to being discriminatory to certain members of the public or put certain members of the public in fear of how they could live their life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sobers-Joseph made it clear that the police don&#8217;t enter into private citizens&#8217; homes and try to regulate their conduct within the confines of their homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe constitution protects that,\u201d she stated. \u201cWhatever you do within the confines of your home, the constitution will protect you in as much as a criminal complaint is not made against you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sobers-Joseph went on to state that the law never has and, as with this case, will not in the future seek to arrest and charge anybody for acts done by two consenting adults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senior State Attorney in the chambers of the Attorney General, Vanica Sobers-Joseph has responded to
