Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The theme of the present report is “Embrace diversity and energize humanity”. It has been submitted by Vitit Muntarbhorn, who in 2016 was appointed as the Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 32/2. He wishes to warmly thank Governments, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, communities, individuals and other stakeholders for their kind support. In accordance with the request of the Council in its resolution 32/2, paragraph 4, the first report of the Independent Expert was submitted to the Council in April 2017 (A/HRC/35/36). The present report is submitted in line with paragraph 4 of the same resolution, in which the Council requested the Independent Expert to present a report to the General Assembly at its seventy-second session. The Independent Expert will elaborate upon the six underpinnings mentioned in his first report, adjusted as follows: decriminalization of consensual same-sex relations and of gender identity and expression; effective anti-discrimination measures; legal recognition of gender identity; destigmatization linked with depathologization; sociocultural inclusion; and education with empathy. The present report (part one) will address the first two underpinnings, decriminalization and anti-discrimination. Parts two and three, due in 2018, will deal with the other underpinnings consecutively.
