Celebrating 10 years of the Yogyakarta Principles: What have we learnt and where to now? By discussing the struggles and collective understandings of challenges in realizing the aspirations of the Yogyakarta Principles, Mauro Cabral Grinspan emphasized the need to bring in more clarity and new terminology to better understand the nuances of lived experiences. To this effect, the issue of non-recognition of intersex, even in some countries that are seen as liberal and accommodating, was underscored. Appreciating that intersex traits encompass a wide spectrum of physical sex characteristics, intersex recognition and effective protection of human rights of intersex people, particularly in relation to human rights violations they face, was emphasized. Mauro further underscored that in Argentina, despite the liberal and progressive stance on LGBTI rights in general, the government has been ineffective in taking appropriate legislative, administrative and other measures to protect the rights of intersex people and to provide survivors the often-needed access to justice, redress and compensation. Realising the provisions of Principle 17 (the right to the highest attainable standard of health) may be seen as just around the corner, but to go around the corner may be challenging. There is also the need to further heighten the efforts to strengthen the realisation of the right to effective remedies (Principle 28). There is a need to move collective advocacy and efforts from stopping human rights violations to ensuring everyone has access to human rights, and remedies, and reparation. Moreover, the perpetrators and potential perpetrators must have access to awareness opportunities to unlearn their behaviors and develop a sense of respect for the equal dignity of everyone. Exploring the changing landscape of human rights movements across the world, Edmud Settle emphasised that more openness is needed from the global north to learn from the experience and success stories from the south. There is also the need to re-emphasise the language of the Yogyakarta Principles in international cooperation activities. International organisations must also realise that progress with one group may mean negative results for other groups, therefore need to deepen their engagement with multiple actors. In order to better localise the language of the Yogyakarta Principles, panelists agreed that the principles need to be translated into the local context – using the words people use. Such an approach will also be helpful in bringing out realistic changes in the community understanding and acceptance of the Principles. Using socially acceptable language will be helpful as an entry points to the social discourse, which can then be moved on to more difficult and contentious topics. Developing local interpretations of the Principles and moving them towards a fit with the Yogyakarta Principles, rather than working from the Principles to the local context, would be more effective. The increasing efforts of the international community and UN agencies to highlight the human rights and development concerns of LGBTI people was applauded. It was also noted that the UN now has designed a staff inclusion training course entitled ‘UN for All’ for all staff – which includes a module on LGBTI issues and inclusion. 18
