132 Report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on ‘Discriminatory laws and practices and acts of violence against individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity’: The Principles, which are non-binding, were developed by human rights experts. Several United Nations entities have used these definitions to describe sexual orientation and gender identity; see for example UNHCR, Guidance Note on Refugee Claims (see footnote 1), Handbook on prisoners with special needs; and UNAIDS, “Review of Legal Frameworks and the Situation of Human Rights related to Sexual Diversity in Low and Middle Income Countries”.
The Yogyakarta Principles were also referenced in General Comment 20 of the CESCR (para 32, footnote 25).
