First UN Human Rights Council Resolution on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

South Africa, co-sponsored by Brazil and 39 other states, led the passage of the first-ever United Nations resolution addressing human rights, sexual orientation, and gender identity at the Human Rights Council. The resolution passed 23–19 with 3 abstentions, and called on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to document discriminatory laws, practices, and violence worldwide based on sexual orientation and gender identity. It was a landmark moment in LGBTQ+ advocacy at the highest level of international governance.
