Concluding Observations on Report 6 (2018) (Link)

Discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons

19. The Committee is concerned that the ban on discrimination in the Fundamental Law does not explicitly list sexual orientation and gender identity among the grounds of discrimination and that its restrictive definition of family may give rise to discrimination, since it does not cover certain types of family arrangements, including same-sex couples. The Committee is also concerned about the acts of violence and the prevalence of negative stereotypes and prejudice against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, particularly in employment and education (arts. 2, 3, 6, 7, 17 and 26).

20. The State party should:

(a) Prohibit discrimination on all grounds, including sexual orientation and gender identity, and in all spheres and sectors, including education, employment, marriage and family arrangements;

(b) Ensure access to effective remedies for any act of discrimination and ensure that courts interpret discrimination laws in accordance with the Covenant;

(c) Take the necessary measures to curb discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons with regard to family arrangements;

(d) Ensure the effective identification, recording, investigation, prosecution and punishment of acts of violence motivated by the sexual orientation or gender identity of the victims, and intensify efforts to combat negative stereotypes and prejudice against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, including through the provision of training for law enforcement officials.
