Privy Council strikes down Trinidad and Tobago's gay sex laws
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council ruled unanimously on 10 November 2026 that Trinidad and Tobago's laws criminalising private, consensual sex between adults of the same sex are unconstitutional, ending activist Jason Jones's case that began in 2017. The decision is final, though the court has invited brief written submissions on the exact wording of the remedy.
