“…Brown writes: "The very existence of a universal declaration [of human rights] rebukes long-standing, but intellectually feeble presumptions, that a sovereign state's treatment of its citizens is the business of that state and that state alone" [53] (p. 2). We suggest that this is also of interest to researchers, because increased human mobility, interdependencies of nation states, and ongoing changes in treaties, policies, and law challenge fixed notions of sovereignty [54].…”

Identifying and developing inclusive policy and practice responses to health and social inequities in gender and sexually diverse persons require inclusive research ethics and methods in order to develop sound data. This article articulates 12 ethical principles for researchers undertaking gender and sexually diverse social, health, and related research. We have called these the ‘Montréal Ethical Principles for Inclusive Research.’ While writing from an international social work perspective, our aim is to promote ethical research that benefits people being researched by all disciplines. This paper targets four groups of interest: 1. Cisgender and heterosexual researchers; 2. Researchers who research ‘general’ populations; 3. and sexually diverse researchers; 4. Human ethics committees. This article was stimulated by the 2018 Global Social Work Statement of Ethical Principles, which positions human dignity at its core. It is critically important to understand and account for the intersectionality of gender and sexuality with discourses of race, ethnicity, colonialism, dis/ability, age, etc. Taking this intersectionality into consideration, this article draws on scholarship that underpins ethical principles developed for other minoritized communities, to ensure that research addresses the autonomy of these participants at every stage. Research that positions inclusive research ethics at its foundation can provide a solid basis for policy and practice responses to health and social inequities in gender and sexually diverse persons.

“…Unsurprisingly, those national and regional differences are reflected at the UN. The UN thus represents a major political site for contestation over LGBQTI rights (Mulé, Khan and McKenzie 2017;Vance et al 2018) in the same way it has been for other 'new' human rights (Bob, 2009). The political discourse is creatively played out both by states which support them and states, including the Holy See (which has status of permanent observer at the UN) (Beattie, 2014;Tomasi, 2018), which oppose them.…”

“…230 The universal character of human rights already condemns discrimination, harassment, and violence against certain populations due to various characteristics; thus, such groups merely extend these rationales to their own contexts, including sexual orientation and gender identities. Specifically, the equality, human dignity, and nondiscrimination clauses within the UDHR, along with language pertaining to the rights to marriage and family integrity and noninterference with private life, have not only been interpreted to protect the interests of European transgender communities against forced sterilization and mandatory divorce laws, but have also been applied to challenge anti-gay propaganda in Russia.…”

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Modern History of Human Rights

Beginning with the phrase "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights," the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) proclaims its purpose of establishing global human rights from the outset. As a common standard of achievement for all signatory nations, the UDHR constitutes an essential cornerstone in the modern history of human rights by drawing upon ancient to contemporary philosophies, responses to the heinous crimes of World War II, and various visions for future human rights standards. Despite diverging viewpoints from many of the drafting parties and states, the UDHR eventually transcended conflict to form the underpinnings of a moral compass for all of humankind.This essay first explores how the UDHR came into formation by reviewing the historical origins of human rights, global dynamics prior to the UDHR, the drafting process and key debates involved, and finally its achieved compromise and ultimate unanimous adoption. Then, the essay examines ways in which the UDHR has evolved, from both a legal and moral angle, since its adoption in the context of past achievements and current challenges. From a historical point of view, I argue that the UDHR is a living document that has and is expected to change as our societies continue to evolve. .:taxonomy:. /law, government and politics/legal issues/human rights (0.662526); /society/unrest and war (0.182124); /law, government and politics [top level] (0.167871)
