Constitution of Belize |
To equality, and equal legal protection: Contained within the Preamble (b), s.3 (a) - “and the protection of the law”, s.6(1) - “All persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection of the law” and s.16 - discriminatory treatment. To live free of all forms of discrimination based on their sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression and sexual characteristics: Sex under s.3 and 16(3) and the Constitution. Sexual Orientation is not expressly stated but in the case of Caleb Orozco v Attorney General of Belize, Chief Justice Kenneth Benjamin clarified that ‘sex’ under s.16(3) “is to be interpreted to extend to “sexual orientation.” YES to life (s.3(a) & s.4(1)), liberty (s.3(a)), security of the person(s.3(a)) all under the Constitution but NO to bodily integrity. To privacy - Under the Constitution s.3(c) - “his personal privacy, the privacy of his home and other property” and s.14(1) - “A person shall not be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his privacy.” To freedom of thought (s.11(1)), opinion (s.12(1)) expression (s.3(b)) and to association (s.3(b) and 13.1). Recognition before the law: Under s.6(1), “all persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection of the law.” A person cannot be equal before the law and protected by the law unless the person is first recognized by the law. As such, one can say that by allowing these rights, the law has recognized the person. |
