(Sweden) - Sweden’s national organisation for gay rights, the RFSL, has been granted observer status by the United Nations.

The decision was made despite a UN committee’s recommendation that the Swedes’ application be rejected. Some countries, including Egypt, lobbied against the RFSL’s inclusion.
