広域英語圏文化論演習[イギリス研究コース]
Queer Rights around the world
Not a single international or regional human rights treaty makes and reference to LGBT people or explicitly protects diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. This is because at the time when most human rights treaties were drafted the majority of countries criminalised homosexual conduct. Today, the vast majority of countries have decriminalized homosexual conduct and over 30 countries now allow same-sex couples to marry. This subject examines the work of the UN relating to LGBT people, including initiatives to increase protection for the rights of queer people as well as attempts to entrench discrimination and persecution of LGBT people.
