Vitit Mutarbhorn who was one of the Commissioners on the Commission of Inquiry on Syria is now the Independent Expert on SOGI and his contribution to the work of the Commission which is analysed in this article, inspires hope that similar jurisprudential advances can be made with respect to the SOGI mandate.
