African legislators must stop treating LGBTQ+ advocacy as an established component of international law, according to a leading conservative strategist.

Moses Foh-Amoaning, speaking at a policy summit on traditional values and state sovereignty, claimed that Western groups are using a calculated strategy of deception to reshape domestic legal frameworks.

He dismissed the connection between LGBTQ+ protections and fundamental human rights as an outright fabrication.

"Don’t be fooled by the human rights argument," Foh-Amoaning told the assembly of parliamentarians and policymakers.

"It is a lie from hell."

Challenging the Legal Basis

The core of Foh-Amoaning’s argument rests on how international treaties are interpreted. He insists that terminology regarding constitutional or sexual rights has been artificially attached to LGBTQ+ advocacy without actual legal backing.

Rather than being explicitly written into global agreements, he argues these protections were quietly smuggled in through aggressive legal reinterpretation and external political pressure.

He urged the attending lawmakers to discard fears of diplomatic or legal retaliation, emphasizing that resisting these norms does not violate any genuine international treaties.

He labeled advocacy networks as highly organised, agenda-driven bodies that rely on misleading legal rhetoric, and he encouraged legislators to confidently reject this foreign pressure.
