Book excerpt: The European legal gender recognition landscape has changed dramatically since the first edition of this toolkit. Since 2013, eight more states now have procedures in place enabling a person to adapt their official records and documents, with four out of the 41 states which have such provisions basing their procedures on self-determination. In 2015, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe welcomed the emergence of a right to gender identity, which gives every individual the right to recognition of their gender identity. We have witnessed a paradigm shift from medicalised procedures to a generation of laws with human rights as major yardstick. Gender recognition procedures are important non-discrimination measures, giving legal and social recognition to a trans person?s gender identity. Europe now has a first generation of laws ? informed by trans community organisations ? that are build on individual self-determination and are thus breaking with a tradition of gatekeeping and patronising. Malta, Ireland, Denmark and Norway set the path when they listened to trans people and established quick, transparent and accessible procedures based on self-determination. The first part of this toolit discusses the basic aspects of gender recognition legislation as flowing from international and European human rights obligations, including updates from recent developments in legislation and jurisprudence. The new section on implementation discusses further aspects flowing out of accessible legal gender recognition. The completely reworked and updated section on jurisprudence presents European and a selection of national level case law. In addition to the Argentinian framework, the Maltese gender recognition legislation is discussed in detail as good practice. The refined Checklist on Legal Gender Recognition continues to be a hands-on tool assisting in assessing any legislation or draft legislation with basic human rights requirements. The section on myth busters has been extended and reworked. Finally, the full texts of the Maltese and Norwegian Gender Recognition laws are available in English in the Annex.

This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people in Europe are stigmatised because of their sexual orientation or gender identity and cannot fully enjoy their universal human rights. Some of them are victims of violence, others have fled to Europe from countries where they risk being persecuted. Organisations representing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons have been denied registration or banned from organising peaceful meetings in some states in Europe. Too few politicians have taken a firm stand against homophobic and transphobic expressions, discrimination and violence.This report presents the results of the largest socio-legal study ever carried out on discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity in the 47 member states of the Council of Europe. Six thematic chapters give a broad overview of the human rights situation of LGBT persons and recommendations are provided for developing and implementing effective measures to address discrimination.The report is intended as a tool for dialogue with authorities and other stakeholders. It constitutes a baseline study for further action in both legislative and policy fields to ensure that all LGBT people can effectively exercise their human rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to how it is often portrayed, the concept of human rights is not homogeneous. Instead it appears fragmented, differing in scope, focus, legal force and level of governance. Using the lens of key case studies, this insightful book contemplates human rights integration and fragmentation from the perspective of its users.The fragmentation of human rights law has resulted in an uncoordinated legal architecture that can create obstacles for effective human rights protection. Against this background, expert contributors examine how to make sense - in both theoretical and practical terms - of these multiple layers of human rights law through which human rights users have to navigate. They consider whether there is a need for more integration and the potential ways in which this might be achieved. The research presented illustrates the pivotal role that users play in shaping, implementing, interpreting and further developing human rights law.Offering an innovative perspective to the debate, this book will appeal to both students and academics interested in human rights and the methodological approaches that can be used in furthering its research. Practitioners and policy makers will also benefit from the forward thinking insights into how an integrated approach to human rights could look.

Download or read book Feminist Approaches to Law written by Dragica Vujadinović and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book raises awareness about gender perspective in political and legal theories and historical analysis. The impacts of feminist political and legal theories, as well as critical legal studies, have been embedded in all the papers in different ways and degrees. Differences among feminist political and legal ideas are visible in the different approaches. The ongoing issue of defining gender, for example, is a recurring theme in the texts. Some papers question the binary basis of the gender issue and the notion of gender as such, while others start from the binary dichotomy and attempt to expand the consideration towards a multi-dimensional understanding of gender identities. The main focus is on a feminist reconsideration of all relevant fields of legal knowledge. The primary aim is to demystify the seemingly neutral character of legal norms and legal knowledge and highlight the power relations at different layers, beginning with male and female legal subjects of Western heredity (in terms of culture, ethnicity, and race), then moving on to different needs and power relations among female persons of different races and classes, and finally addressing differentiating gender relations and identities beyond the framework of the women-men binary codification, i.e., also taking into consideration the multiple options of intersex, transgender, queering, etc. Taking seriously the issue of the “maleness” of political and legal theories is indeed a challenging and relevant endeavor for legal scholars. The male bias is present not only throughout history but also in the present, given that our “universal” categories of political and legal thought are still overburdened by unequal power relations. It is also important to open our minds and knowledge production for a gender-sensitive and gender-competent intersectional approach, which would also include various queer-, race- and class-based considerations. These tasks should be of interest not only to critical legal scholars but also all those belonging to mainstream legal and political thought.
