A/HRC/34/3 6. Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity 43. As part of its work to combat discrimination, the OHCHR-led Free and Equal campaign continued to promote equal rights and fair treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons globally, reaching millions of people through social and traditional media and through events in Bhutan, Brazil, Cambodia, Cabo Verde, China, Fiji, Madagascar, Panama, Peru, Senegal, Sri Lanka and Timor-Leste. A micro-campaign launched in October helped raise awareness of harmful surgery carried out on intersex children. 44. In November, OHCHR launched the publication Living Free & Equal, which analyses more than 200 examples of initiatives in 65 countries aimed at protecting individuals from violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status/sex characteristics. The study includes practical guidance and inspiration for States on the basis of steps taken by national and local governments, courts, parliaments, national human rights institutions and others. 45. In Senegal, OHCHR supported a space for dialogue with governmental and nongovernmental actors on the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons. In Cambodia, OHCHR integrated an awareness-raising component on violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons as part of the national 16day campaign against gender violence in November. In Argentina, a webinar was held with civil society organizations on gender and the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons to strengthen their capacities to report on and document the human rights violations they face. C. 1. Combating impunity and strengthening accountability and the rule of law Transitional justice 46. Ensuring comprehensive, human rights-based and victim-centred transitional justice processes remained a priority of OHCHR during the reporting period, including in Burundi, Colombia, El Salvador, Guinea, Mali, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Tunisia. In Burundi, in close cooperation with the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, OHCHR strengthened human rights and humanitarian law skills of the members of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In Guatemala, OHCHR observed transitional justice cases and accompanied victims of sexual violence during the armed conflict to the hearing of their cases. Following the annulment by the Supreme Court of its amnesty law in July, OHCHR was able to initiate support to the transitional justice programme of the Government of El Salvador. In Nepal, where an amnesty law for serious human rights violations committed during the armed conflict remains in force, OHCHR provided technical guidance to the Government and other stakeholders on amendments needed for the law to comply with international laws and standards. 47. In relation to past or ongoing conflicts in the Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire, Iraq, Kenya, Mali, South Sudan, the Sudan (Darfur) and the Syrian Arab Republic, OHCHR conducted capacity-building activities for the establishment of appropriate transitional justice mechanisms, provided technical assistance on proposed laws and policies and supported public commemorations. OHCHR also continued to support the Extraordinary African Chambers in the Senegalese Courts and monitored the trial of Hissène Habré. In Sri Lanka, OHCHR supported national consultations on establishing credible, effective and comprehensive transitional justice mechanisms, and provided advice on domestic screening processes and frameworks for the protection of victims and witnesses. 9
