DESCRIPTION:Le Centre pour les droits de la personne et le pluralisme jurid
 ique et la Chaire Fortier en arbitrage et droit commercial internationals 
 accueillent Valérie V. Suhr\, Université de Hambourg\, qui analysera si le
 s pires violations des droits de la personne visant spécifiquement les LGB
 TI sont punissables en droit pénal international\, tel que codifié dans le
  Statut de Rome de la Cour pénale internationale. La professeure Andrea Bj
 orklund agira à titre de modératrice.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En anglais seulement] 
 Despite some great improvements in their legal as well as factual situatio
 n over the past decades\, sexual minorities (LGBTI: Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexu
 al\, Transgender\, Intersex) still face massive state and non-state violen
 ce in many places. The presentation analyses whether the worst human right
 s violations specifically directed at LGBTI are punishable under internati
 onal criminal law\, as codified in the Rome Statute (RS) of the Internatio
 nal Criminal Court.\n\nThe focus lies on the question whether sexual and g
 ender minorities—or at least parts of them—are covered by the crime of per
 secution\, a crime against humanity codified in Article 7(1)(h) RS. Althou
 gh sexual orientation and gender identity are not explicitly listed as pro
 hibited grounds of persecution\, “gender” is—along with “other grounds tha
 t are universally recognized as impermissible under international law.” Dr
 awing on insights from gender studies on the social construction of gender
 \, on the development of LGBTI human rights and on general rules of interp
 retation\, the presentation will argue that sexual orientation and gender 
 identify are included in the first\, probably both grounds of persecution.
