"Sexual Orientation" and "Gender Identity" in International Law
C-Fam statement
“States have the sovereign prerogative to legislate on health and morals to protect their populations, including through public decency laws”
Many countries “proscribe homosexual conduct because of moral and public health concerns”
“There are no binding human rights instruments that contain any legal obligations in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity” - which are terms for which “there is no scientific consensus” as to how they are defined.
