In recent years, awareness has grown of the scope and scale of violence and discrimination that lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer and intersex people around the world — including killings, torture, arbitrary detention and widespread discrimination in access to health care, education, justice and employment.
United Nations regional and national human rights bodies have identified critical gaps in the implementation of international standards to address these and related violations, and have issued a plethora of recommendations, including, among them, the repeal of discriminatory legislation and ensuring legal protection of LGBTI people from discrimination, violence, torture and ill treatment, and affirming rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly.
Increasingly, governments are taking action — whether in the form of legislation and policy adoption or through targeted social and education programmes. At the United Nations Human Rights Council, a majority of countries in all regions around the world have voluntarily committed to take measures to end violence and discrimination linked to sexual orientation and gender identity, based on recommendations generated during the first two cycles of the Universal Periodic Review.
Despite these positive developments, while many countries have taken encouraging steps, in most cases, these efforts have fallen short of full protection of the rights to be free from violence and discrimination against LGBT and intersex people. Even in countries where there has been significant progress in protecting the rights of gay men and lesbians, there has been far less attention given to protecting the rights of trans people and only incipient attention to the rights of intersex people.

It is correct to infer from the text that the United Nations’ engagement with the problem of violence and discrimination against LGBTI people was motivated by the group’s need for access to preferential policies of government-mandated, affirmative action with the goal of including a larger number of people from this group on a global scale.
