• W3124692258 abstract "1. Introduction1The human rights situation of sexual minorities2 around the world continues to be unsettling. Many countries maintain serious criminal penalties for consensual sex between persons of the same sex, including the death penalty.3 Sexual minorities also are frequent targets of police, community and family violence,4 and are often victimized by blackmail and extortion.5 In several countries, restrictions have been imposed on the freedoms of expression and association of sexual minorities,6 while in others, homosexuality and transexuality are perceived as Western phenomena,7 anti-revolutionary behaviours,8 crimes against religion,9 sexually deviant and immoral behaviours,10 mental disorders11 or unacceptable challenges to gender-specific roles.12Egregious human rights violations have compelled some lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people (LGBTI) to seek refuge in coun- tries with better human rights protection. In many cases, individuals flee directly to countries where significant progress has been made on LGBTI human rights and where they are able to make claims for asylum pursuant to the 1951 UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees [Convention].13 Indeed, several states have extended refugee protection to women and men fleeing persecution based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. In Canada, the first reported sexual orientation claim to be decided dates back to 1991.14 In April 2002, The Globe and Mail reported that [i]n the past three years, nearly 2,500 people from 75 different countries have sought asylum on the basis of sexual orientation in Canada.15 In 2004 alone, 1,351 sexual orientation-based claims were decided in Canada.16 More recent statistics show that between 1 April 2009 and 30 June 2011, 561 refugee claims based on sexual orientation were finalized before the Refugee Protection Division [RPD] of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada [IRB], with 58 per cent of those claims being granted refugee protection.17To be sure, the Convention has provided actual and tangible protection to many individual LGBTI since the early 1990s, more so than any other international human rights instrument. Yet, because of the growing number of asylum claims by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex individuals, there is a need for greater awareness among adjudicators of the specific experiences of LGBTI refugee claimants and of the particular legal questions involved in these cases. There is, indeed, a myriad of legal, procedural and social hurdles facing sexual minority asylum-seekers.This paper reviews specific legal and attitudinal challenges facing LGBTI refugee claimants. Indeed, the objective is to outline and analyze how gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender refugee claimants in Canada continue to encounter a specific set of challenges in having the refugee definition applied to their claims.The emphasis is on the Canadian inland refugee determination process. The paper was first developed to support a Canadian professional training program developed for members of the RPD of the ERB. The purpose of the training was to ensure that Canadian adjudicators are alert to issues relating to sexual orientation and gender identity and that any hearings and interviews with LGBTI claimants proceed in a safe and respectful manner. The discussion therefore focuses chiefly on issues and principles pulled from Canadian case law - primarily, decisions of the Federal Court of Canada. Frequents references are also made to the 2012 UNHCR Guidelines on International Protection No. 9: Claims to Refugee Status based on Sexual Orientation and/or Gender Identity(TM) [UNHCR Guidelines]. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR] is responsible for monitoring the application of the Convention by member States.19 In order to do so, the agency provides interpretations of the legal norms set out in the international refugee protection regime. …" @default.
