Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The right to be free from discrimination is enshrined in article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all human rights treaties. Issues relating to sexual orientation and gender identity have been dealt with by the monitoring bodies under the human rights treaties in their relationship with States, and a number of those bodies, including those created under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, have adopted general comments that refer expressly to sexual orientation and gender identity. The mandate of the Independent Expert is founded on this bedrock of international human rights law.
