A former delegate to the United Nations (UN) from Saint Lucia revealed in an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews how in 2011 the powerful intergovernmental organization bullied the tiny sovereign nation into inserting language dealing with homosexuality and abortion into a political declaration on HIV/AIDS, threatening to withdraw all help to those suffering with deadly disease unless it complied.
“They were going to withdraw all aid — all aid from us! — to deal with issues of HIV/AIDS unless we allowed these terms in the document,” said Sarah Flood-Beaubrun, former Deputy Permanent Representative from Saint Lucia to the UN from 2008-11, to LifeSiteNews while in Rome during the recent Rome Life Forum.
“We were talking about medicines. We were talking about anything to do with dealing with the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Caribbean region – we would get no money for unless we succumbed and allowed these terms that they wanted in the document,” she said.
