Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Constructive lessons can be gauged from the following recent submissions to the Independent Expert. National human rights institutions have played a key role in advocating for the repeal of discriminatory laws in all regions of the world. For example, the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions offers networking and capacity-building as channels for addressing the issue of sexual orientation and gender identity, and the Forum has been assisted by the advice of its Advisory Council of Jurists in favour of decriminalization of consensual same-sex relations.
