ARC reports on the 28th session of the Human Rights Council
Geneva, 2 – 27 March 2015
Overview of the Session
The 28th session of the Human Rights Council followed the historic 27th session in which a resolution on sexual orientation and gender identity was passed for only the second time in its history.
The 28th session built upon the achievements of the previous session by both states and NGOs referencing the historic resolution. (A/HRC/27/32)The 28th session was marked by supportive state interventions on LGBTI issues wherein the opportunities provided by the various sessions of the Human Rights Council were used to reiterate and reinforce their commitment. The states which were non supportive, marked their position either by denying that LGBTI people came within the framework of protection offered by international human rights law or by being generally silent with respect to the rights of LGBTI persons.
