Application of international human rights law in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity.
Their principles are here.
<<How did the Principles come about?
The Principles were developed and unanimously adopted by a distinguished group of human rights experts, from diverse regions and backgrounds, including judges, academics, a former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, UN Special Procedures, members of treaty bodies, NGOs and others. The Rapporteur of the process, Professor Michael O�Flaherty, has made immense contributions to the drafting and revision of the Yogyakarta Principles.
A key event in the development of the Principles was an international seminar of many of these legal experts that took place in Yogyakarta, Indonesia at Gadjah Mada University from 6 to 9 November 2006. That seminar clarified the nature, scope and implementation of States� human rights obligations in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity under existing human rights treaties and law.>> Taken from their website.
