 -- The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) is an international organisation addressing human rights violations against lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and people with HIV/AIDS.  (IGLHRC IGLHRC International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (since 1991; San Francisco) ) is once again promoting a motion at the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC UNHRC United Nations Human Rights Commission ) to ban discrimination based on "sexual orientation." The motion will be presented at the 60th session of the UNHRC which runs March 15-April 25 in Geneva, Switzerland. Experts have suggested the proposal has serious ramifications ramifications nplAuswirkungen pl  for religions.

The motion was sponsored by Brazil and co-sponsored by Canada. It was postponed last year by a narrow vote at the UNHRC.

Jane Adolphe, an international law expert and an assistant professor of law at Ave Maria Law School, raised concerns about the same motion last year when it was being debated. "This initiative opens the door for further attacks on the (Catholic) Church," she said. "With respect to the Commission, individuals could presumably pre·sum·a·ble

 use this discrimination language to bring complaints against the Church with regard to hiring, employment, even the doctrines of the Church itself." These attacks could be applied to any group or organization opposed to sodomy.

In a release, homosexual activist groups throughout the world have been encouraged by the IGLHRC to lobby their governments in support of the resolution. The group is attempting to lobby all representatives from the 53 nations that will decide the matter in Geneva during the UNHRC session, targeting especially the countries of "South Africa, India, Costa Rica and the United States" where they face the most resistance (LifeSiteNews.com, Feb. 3, 2004).
