Michael O’Flaherty

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

This chapter examines the human rights protections afforded to sexual minorities. It shows that the jurisprudence focuses on issues of non-discrimination and privacy, and that important human rights protections can also be derived from the range of other civil, political, economic, social, and cultural human rights of general application. The chapter examines a recent exercise in the clarification of the application of human rights law concerning issues of sexual orientation and gender identity: the Yogyakarta Principles.
