  • United Nations LGBTI Advocacy Continued to Feature Prominently at the UN in 2018
    Annual Review of the Human Rights Situation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex People 2019 United Nations LGBTI advocacy continued to feature prominently at the UN in 2018. LGBTI equality issues were systematically addressed by Treaty bodies, Special Procedures and the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism alike. On 1 January, Victor Madrigal-Borloz took up his mandate as the second UN Independent Expert on Protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, following Vitit Muntarbhorn. The Independent Expert released two thematic reports in 2018. One provided an overview of violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) and the other examined the process of abandoning the classification of certain forms of gender as a pathology and the full scope of the duty of the state to respect and promote respect of gender recognition as a component of identity. The SOGI Expert carried out country visits to Georgia and Mozambique. He hosted a general consultation in January and a thematic consultation with civil society on depathologisation and legal gender recognition in June. At the 62nd session of the Commission on the Status of Women in March in New York, all Member States adopted a text that included strong language recognising the diversity of women and girls, comprehensive sexuality education, the need to address multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and marginalisation, and negative social norms and gender stereotypes, and called for providing support to all family members. These were hard fought by the LBTI Caucus and other civil society organisations in a more-and-more conservative space, where states are pushing back against women’s rights and anti-gender rhetorics are thriving.

  • Determined to Reaffirm Faith in Fundamental Human Rights, in the Dignity and Worth of the Human Person, in the Equal Rights of M
    HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2000 determined to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the humanFREEDOM FROM DISCRIMINATION person, in FREEDOM FROM FEAR the equalFREEDOM rightsOF SPEECH of men and womenFREEDOM FROM WANTand of FREEDOM TO DEVELOP AND REALIZE ONE'S HUMAN POTENTIAL nations largeFREEDOM FROM INJUSTICEand AND VIOLATIONS small OF THE RULE OF LAW FREEDOM FOR DECENT WORK - WITHOUT EXPLOITATION. Human rights and human development share a common vision and a common purpose—to secure, for every human being, freedom, well-being and dignity. Divided by the cold war, the rights agenda and the development agenda followed parallel tracks. Now converging, their distinct strategies and traditions can bring new strength to the struggle for human freedom. Human Development Report 2000 looks at human rights as an intrinsic part of development—and at development as a means to realizing human rights. It shows how human rights bring principles of accountability and social justice to the process of human development. The 20th century’s advances in human rights have been remarkable. But gross violations of rights, both loud and silent, persist. This Report explores the new rights agenda for the 21st century— and proposes bold new approaches to political and economic governance that deliver social jus- tice. Stronger international action is called for, especially to support disadvantaged people and countries—and to offset growing global inequalities: • Promoting inclusive democracy as the form of government best suited to fulfilling all human rights—by protecting minorities, separating powers and ensuring public accountability. • Demanding the eradication of poverty not just as a development goal—but as a central challenge for human rights.

  • North Korean Refugees in China and Human Rights Issues: International Response and U.S
    Order Code RL34189 North Korean Refugees in China and Human Rights Issues: International Response and U.S. Policy Options September 26, 2007 Rhoda Margesson, Coordinator Specialist in International Humanitarian Assistance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Emma Chanlett-Avery Analyst in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Andorra Bruno Specialist in Immigration Policy Domestic Social Policy Division North Korean Refugees in China and Human Rights Issues: International Response and U.S. Policy Options Summary North Koreans have been crossing the border into China, many in search of refuge, since the height of North Korea’s famine in the 1990s. The State Department estimates that 30,000-50,000 North Korean refugees currently live in China (some non-governmental organizations estimate the number is closer to 300,000) and believes those who are repatriated may face punishment ranging from a few months of “labor correction” to execution. A number of reports also document the difficult conditions faced by North Koreans who remain in China. The plight of the North Koreans focuses attention not only on those seeking refuge and their refugee status, but also points to the factors driving their decision to leave, primarily food shortages, deteriorating humanitarian conditions, and human rights violations. North Korea is generally characterized as one of the world’s worst violators of human rights and religious freedom, an issue that some Members of Congress and interest groups say should assume greater importance in the formation of U.S. priorities towards North Korea. Congressional concern about human rights in North Korea and conditions faced by North Korean refugees led to the passage of the North Korean Human Rights Act (NKHRA) in 2004.

    Source: The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Conscience for the World, Edited by Felice D. Gaer and Christen L. Broecker (Brill |Nijhoff, 2014), pp. 293- 310. http://www.brill.com/united-nations-high-commissioner-human-rights-0 Chapter 15 The High Commissioner for Human Rights and North Korea Roberta Cohen1 The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea), is best known internationally for its development of nuclear weapons and for the chronic hunger and malnutrition endured by much of its population. Less publicized have been its widespread and grave human rights violations, which North Korea has taken great pains to conceal. The country is by far the world’s most inaccessible and ‘most secretive,’ with its population often described as ‘the hidden people.’2 Since 1948, the Kim dynasty has ruled North Korea with an ideology of nationalistic self-reliance (juche) effectively minimizing ties with much of the rest of the world. While there have been recent inroads into this closed society, North Koreans cannot exit their country freely, are not allowed to telephone outside the country or listen to radio broadcasts from abroad, and only a small number are allowed access to the internet.3 Between North and South Korea today, “there is no telephone service…no postal service, no email.”4 Foreigners allowed entry are limited in their ability to communicate with North Koreans. Even during the great famine of the mid 1990s when North Korea invited in international food agencies to counter starvation (at least one
