Objective and structure of the
report
This document is the final report of the second Jean-Jacques Gautier
Symposium entitled Addressing situations of vulnerability of LGBT
persons in detention. Its purpose is not to provide a detailed account
of the two-day meeting, but rather to highlight the issues, strategies
and main tracks identified during the discussions.
The first part of this report sets out the general framework of
the theme by presenting the definitions and principles regarding
the issue of LGBT persons deprived of their liberty. The second
section focuses on risk factors and situations of risk identified by
the participants. Finally, the last section highlights the potential
role NPMs could play to address issues faced by LGBT persons in
detention and outlines examples of best practices in this regard
presented by participants.
