Abstract
The Yogyakarta Principles reflect the application of binding international human rights law to issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. They were developed and unanimously adopted by a distinguished group of human rights experts, from diverse regions and backgrounds.
The following Annotations provide additional information about the international instruments and jurisprudence upon which each Principle is based. Although not explicitly forming part of the text adopted by the participating experts, the Annotations serve as a valuable guide to the legal framework underpinning each Principle.
The full text of the Yogyakarta Principles in all 6 UN languages can be found at www.yogyakartaprinciples.org.
