- Description
- The compiled survey is based on factual macro and micro studies of the legal systems and the laws in detail, or from second hand sources when the legal texts have not been possible to obtain. Due to the fact that the survey aims to present the most updated information, most of the sources used are from governmental and non governmental web sites and not from books. The survey only deals with legislation criminalizing consensual sexual acts between persons of the same sex in private above the age of consent. Laws dealing with such acts in public, with under aged people, with force or by any other reason are not included. Nor does it include countries where such acts are legal.
