This event will present an opportunity to share knowledge and experience on multilateral diplomacy concerning LGBT+ human rights issues. The event will bring feature
Dr Douglas Janoff, author of Queer Diplomacy: Homophobia, International Relations, and LGBT Human Rights and Senior Canadian Foreign Service Officer.
Queer Diplomacy enriches the current literature in international relations, human rights and queer studies by demonstrating how diplomats and advocates work hand-in-hand to promote LGBT rights on the world stage. It is the first study of multilateral LGBT human rights diplomacy viewed from the perspective of its practitioners: diplomats, LGBT activists, human rights experts and multilateral specialists. Dr Janoff, speaking in his personal capacity, will share some of the key recommendations for multilateral diplomacy that emerge from his research.
