Flying the Rainbow Flag at the United Nations
Issues of sexual orientation and gender identity were raised in two of the United Nations intergovernmental world conferences on women, 1985 and 1995, and in the Vienna world conference on human rights in 1993. From 2006 a number of LGBTI Non-Governmental Organizations gained ongoing ‘consultative status’ from the Economic and Social Council allowing access to regular UN human rights events. Leading human rights NGOs, such as Amnesty Internationa…
Sex and Gender Diversity in Southeast Asia
The United Nations human rights system has recognized rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex individuals (LGBTI), with key decisions in 2011 and 2016. To what extent are the rights of these groupings respected in Southeast Asia? The visibility of LGBTI is low in Southeast Asia and government attitudes vary. Criminal laws, both secular and Sharia, in some jurisdictions, have prohibitions, but active enforcement is rare. Discrim…
What's law got to do with it? Sex and gender diversity in East Asia
Old criminal laws prohibiting male homosexual acts appeared, at times, in four jurisdictions. Today they survive only for the armed forces in South Korea. While human rights are now widely accepted by governments, at least rhetorically, it is important to remember that their development has been very slow, and often episodic. Criminal prohibitions of homosexual acts have been, over time, the most dramatic examples of laws that discriminate on the…
And the Unnatural Afterlife of British Colonialism in Asia
The late 19 th century saw the spread of anti-homosexual criminal laws to British colonies. The iconic example was the Indian Penal Code of 1860, with its prohibition of 'carnal intercourse against the order of nature,' a rewriting of the anti-Catholic 'buggery' law of 1534. The language of 377 travelled around the British colonial world. France and certain other parts of Europe had decriminalized homosexual acts a century earlier, so the colonia…
Constructing Lesbian and Gay Rights
Lesbian and gay rights are argued as rights to privacy, rights to protection from violence, rights to equality as individuals, rights to equality as family units, rights of minorities or as part of a larger framework of the recognition of sexual diversity within the society. In the last decades Canadian law has recognized equality claims, first through the reform of antidiscrimination laws and later through the interpretation of the equality prov…
Collective Rights
The UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations
Indigenous populations have been identified by the United Nations as a distinct category.2 There was initial uncertainty as to where they should be placed in the range of UN concerns. They were recognized in work on racial discrimination, but the goal in combating racism is equality, while the goal of indigenous populations and cultural minorities is distinct group survival. A staff person within the United Nations, Agusto Willemsen Diaz, a lawye…
