Connecting human rights, LGBT rights and diplomacy
Dr. Douglas Janoff
Global Affairs Canada, Canadá
In this presentation, Dr. Douglas Janoff, a Canadian diplomat, explores how human rights violations based on sexual and gender identity have impacted both multilateral and bilateral human rights diplomacy. Using the perspectives of practitioners – diplomats, UN experts, and civil society representatives – a picture emerges of an assertive global LGBTQ movement working closely with diplomats from North America, Latin America and Europe to advocate for a universalist approach to LGBTQ human rights. In turn, opposing states deploy cultural, religious and moral discourses to minimize LGBT rights as a “legitimate” human right, resulting in polarization. Dr. Janoff considers some policy solutions that have the potential to bridge the considerable political, cultural and diplomatic divisions.
