LGBT RIGHTS IN CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL LAW AND UNITED NATIONS

Abstract
In all regions, people experience violence and discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In many cases, even the perception of homosexuality or transgender identity puts people at risk. Violations include – but are not limited to – killings, rape and physical attacks, torture, arbitrary detention, the denial of rights to assembly, expression and information, and discrimination in employment, health and education
The human rights situation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and intersex persons remains a matter of grave concern worldwide, with continuing, serious and widespread violations perpetrated against individuals based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. These violations, which are too often met with impunity, include killings, violent attacks, torture, arbitrary detention, denial of rights to assembly and expression, and discrimination in accessing health care, education, employment and housing.
People around the world face violence and inequality because of whom they love, how they look, or who they are. Sexual orientation and gender identity are the most intrinsic expressions of Human Beings and should never be a subject of discussion, mockery or a reason for discrimination, but need of the hour calls for a comprehensive research and analysis of the worldwide trends regarding the development of LGBTQ rights
