Conclusion

As the preceding chapters show, protecting LGBTI people from violence and discrimination does not require the establishment of new rights, nor does it require the establishment of new international human rights standards. For all the heat and complexity of the political debate about sexual orientation and gender identity at the United Nations, from a legal perspective the issues are straightforward. The obligations that States have to protect LGBTI persons from violations of their human rights are already well established and are binding on all United Nations Member States.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Gender Equality

Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
