International LGBTQ+ rights treaties

International LGBTQ+ rights treaties are agreements between countries that aim to protect and promote the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide. These treaties set standards to combat discrimination, ensure legal recognition, and promote equality regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. While they guide countries in creating fair policies, enforcement varies, and not all nations adopt or fully implement these agreements. Overall, they represent a global effort to recognize LGBTQ+ rights as fundamental human rights, fostering international cooperation to create safer, more inclusive societies.
