The survey collected data from 93,079 people across the EU and Croatia through an anonymous online questionnaire, collecting the views, perceptions, opinions and experiences of persons aged 18 years or over, who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. The topics related to various fundamental rights issues with an emphasis on experienced discrimination, violence and harassment. The survey and all related activities covered the 27 current EU Member States as well as Croatia. FRA designed the questionnaire and finalised it in consultation with its Scientific Committee, relevant stakeholders and civil society organisations, as well as independent academics and national experts with expertise in the area of discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity. The survey asked a range of questions about LGBT people’s experiences including: public perceptions and responses to homophobia and/or transphobia; discrimination; rights awareness; safe environment; violence and harassment; the social context of being an LGBT person; personal characteristics, including age and income group. The full survey questionnaire is provided in the Annex A of this report. The EU LGBT survey was a large-scale empirical data collection exercise using an online questionnaire as its main instrument. The questionnaire was online between April and July 2012.1 The research method chosen – online questionnaire and sampling through self- identification of the respondents – provided a number of advantages and strengths, as well as limitations and constraints, both of which need to be taken into account when reading the survey results. These questions are presented and discussed in detail in the following sections of this technical report to shed light on the research process, as well as to put in evidence the range and the potential of the pool of data that lie behind the key findings of the EU LGBT survey. A consortium of Gallup Europe2 and ILGA-Europe,3 selected by the FRA through an open call for tender, managed the data collection activities. For a concise presentation of key issues concerning the survey methodology – issues that are presented in detail in this report – please consult the Questions & Answers technical paper. 1 The questionnaire was online and accessible for respondents from 0:00 April 2, 2012 to 24:00 July 9, 2012. 2 Gallup is an international survey and consultancy company, see: www.gallup.com or Gallup-Europe http://eu.gallup.com. 3 ILGA-Europe is the European umbrella organisation of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working on LGBTIQ issues; see: www.ilga-europe.org. 5 EU LGBT survey – Technical report 1 Defining the survey population EU LGBT target group and instrument The target group of the EU LGBT survey was defined as: people who describe themselves under the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or the Transgender umbrella terms (allowing for sub-categories in the transgender group, such as transsexual, cross-dresser and queer); people who currently live in any of the 27 EU Member States and Croatia – regardless of legal circumstances (residency) or citizenship; people who are at least 18 years old. The EU LGBT survey used a predominantly quantitative online questionnaire to collect its data. The questionnaire was composed mainly of closed single-response questions – both affirmative-negative (Yes/No) and scale type (for example strongly agree/agree/disagree/strongly disagree/don’t know), as well as multiple response questions. Respondents also had an opportunity to complement their responses with

Cover photograph © Yadid Levy l Anzenberger l Redux l Street scene, Singel Street, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Printing by Createch Ltd. l Hungary Foreword There is an undeniable shift happening in international drug policy. Lawmakers—some- times at the urging of voters—are debating regulatory approaches in a number of jurisdic- tions. Internationally, leaders are bringing these discussions to multilateral forums such as the United Nations and regional institutions like the Organization of American States. Change is in the air. These discussions naturally lead to questions about what can reasonably be done and what we can expect to happen if certain policies are introduced. It is popular to inject an air of mystery into any debate about drug policy reform. The truth is that we know more than we think. There are approaches—including those in the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland and the Czech Republic—that have put the emphasis in their policies on public health, pragmatism, safety and security.

  • Advice of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission on the House of Common's Defence Committee Report on 'Investigations
    Advice of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission on the House of Common’s Defence Committee report on ‘Investigations in fatalities in Northern Ireland involving British military personnel’ Summary The NIHRC provides the following advice to the NI Office in relation to the options put forward by the House of Common’s Defence Committee Report on ‘Investigations in fatalities in Northern Ireland involving British military personnel’. Option1: The NIHRC advises that a statute of limitation restricting the prosecution of state actors would amount to an amnesty. If such an amnesty were to be held to excuse acts constituting gross human rights violations and abuses (including the right to life and the prohibition on torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment) this would be incompatible with human rights law. (paragraph 34) Option 2: The NIHRC continues to recommend that the Stormont House Agreement is implemented in line with the recommendations of the UN Human Rights Committee and Council of Europe. (paragraph 40) Option 3: Noting that the lack of certainty regarding the general application of the Sentences (NI) Act 1998 and concerns about its application to members of the police service and armed forces the NIHRC recommends a review, and if necessary amendment, to ensure the legislation is applied equally and fairly to all perpetrators of conflict-related offences. (paragraph 52) Option 4: The NIHRC recommends against this option, as it would put the UK government in breach of its international human rights obligations to conduct an effective official investigation under the right to life and prohibition of torture, inhuman and degrading treatment.
