Embrace diversity and energize humanity 2017, para. 17
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The initiatives of regional organizations have added constructive developments. The European human rights system, the inter-American human rights system, the African human rights system, the Arab Charter on Human Rights and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Human Rights Declaration all uphold the right to be free from discrimination and have provisions countering violence to human life that can bolster the protection of persons under the rubric of sexual orientation and gender identity. Importantly, the European Court of Human Rights in 2017 found that forced sterilization (particularly affecting transgender people who wish to have their self-perceived gender identity recognized by the State) was in contravention of human rights; another case found that a local law constraining free speech in relation to sexual orientation was in breach of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
