27/… Human rights, sexual orientation and gender identity
The
Human Rights Council,
Recalling the
universality, interdependence, indivisibility and interrelatedness of human
rights as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and
consequently elaborated in other human rights instruments, such as the
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and other relevant core
human rights instruments,
Recalling also that the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that all human beings are born
free and equal in dignity and rights and that everyone is entitled to all the
rights and freedoms set forth in the Declaration, without distinction of any
kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other
opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status,
Recalling further that the
Vienna Declaration and Program of Action affirms that all human rights are
universal, indivisible and interdependent and interrelated, that the
international community must treat human rights globally in a fair and equal
manner, on the same footing, and with the same emphasis, and that while the
significance of national and regional particularities and various historical,
cultural and religious backgrounds must be borne in mind, it is the duty of
States, regardless of their political, economic and cultural systems, to
promote and protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Recalling General Assembly
resolution 60/251 of 15 March 2006, in which the Assembly stated that the Human
Rights Council should be responsible for promoting universal respect for the
protection of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without
distinction of any kind and in a fair and equal manner,
Recalling also all
relevant Human Rights Council and General Assembly resolutions on combating all
forms of discrimination and violence exercised due to discrimination of any
kind, particularly Council resolution 17/19 of 17 June 2011,
Expressing grave concern
at acts of violence and discrimination, in all regions of the world, committed
against individuals because of their sexual orientation and gender identity,
Welcoming positive
developments at the international, regional and national levels in the fight
against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender
identity,
Welcoming also the efforts
of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in the fight
against violence and discrimination based on race, colour, sex, language,
religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property,
birth or other status,
1. Takes
note with appreciation of the report of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Human Rights entitled “Discriminatory laws and practices and acts of
violence against individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender
identity” (A/HRC/19/41) and of the panel discussion held at the nineteenth session of the
Human Rights Council;
2. Requests
the High Commissioner to update the report (A/HRC/19/41) with a view to sharing good
practices and ways to overcome violence and discrimination, in application of
existing international human rights law and standards, and to present it to the
Human Rights Council at its twenty-ninth session;
3. Decides
to remain seized of this issue.
