Report of the Conference Experiences in the past shows that although, love is the basis of human rights, we cannot just leave it to love. We must also recognise that sometimes love is also responsible for some suffering – including within the family. This is often the case when families fail to recognise the rights of the individual and enforce preconceived values on individuals. Although these acts are often carried out in the name of love, they go against the very principle of human dignity and rights. Translating the Yogyakarta Principles into local languages must also take into consideration that such translation must be reflective of the local context and traditions. The customs, traditions and values embedded in societies play a significant role in one’s ability to define gender identity and sexual orientation. They are also to a large extent influenced by the culturally defined castes and hierarchies. Therefore, critiquing the Yogyakarta Principles must be carried out in a more culturally relevant approach. Hiker Chiu articulated the ability and opportunity for intersex people to partner with others and attend events to promote their rights. While the cultural alienation of LGBTI people has been in the increase in many parts of Asia, the concepts of sexual orientation and gender identity in general may be easier to infuse within the cultural context and values. Such an approach could be useful in expanding inclusivity. The language of the Yogyakarta Principles in human rights law must be better aligned with the language and the cultural context, as highlighted by many speakers before. While the concepts and content of Principle are often seen as a voice from highly academic people – more grassroots level people should be involved in its application and discourse. The issue of intersectionality must be given more attention, as discussed by many others. Human rights advocates need to strengthen their collective ability to help LGBTI people who are in need of help. In countries where there are no NHRIs, there is the need to develop and strengthen this informal channel further. The government’s commitment to human rights education – including the Principles – needs to be identified as a focus area for future intervention. This would be essential in making the Principles more user-friendly. 43
