United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has called on countries to stop enforcing laws that discriminate against gays and lesbians.

Ban's statement came as part of a larger message on human rights at a U.N. meeting in Geneva, according to the Associated Press. Several countries -- many of them in Asia and Africa -- still enforce laws that make homosexual activity punishable by jail or death.
