A sodomy law is a law that defines certain sexual acts as crimes. The precise sexual acts meant by the term sodomy are rarely spelled out in the law, but are typically understood by courts to include any sexual act deemed to be "unnatural" or immoral.[1] Sodomy typically includes anal sex, oral sex, and bestiality.[2][3][4] In practice, sodomy laws have rarely been enforced against heterosexual couples, and have mostly been used to target homosexuals.[5]
As of August 2016, 72 countries as well as five sub-national jurisdictions[a] have laws criminalizing homosexuality,[6] with most of them located in the Muslim world. In 2006 that number was 92.[6] In 2011, the United Nations Human Rights Council passed an LGBT rights resolution, which was followed up by a report published by the UN Human Rights Commissioner which included scrutinisation of the mentioned codes.

Since the laws had rarely been enforced against heterosexuals, there was no sense of urgency about their repeal.
