ABSTRACT In 2020 the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW Committee) found for the first time that a state had breached its obligations to prevent discrimination against women in the case of a lesbian couple subjected to a homophobic hate crime. No international human rights treaty specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or sex characteristics (SOGIESC). The UN treaty bodies are developing a jurisprudence on the basis of such claims, with claimants sometimes forced to argue that they were discriminated against on the basis of ‘other status’. This article situates the CEDAW Committee's Views in ON and DP v Russian Federation in the context of attempts to queer international law, and international human rights law in particular. It analyses the costs and benefits of three strategies aimed at queering international human rights law: equality/universalism, special rights/a SOGIESC treaty; and queering CEDAW. The article aims to evaluate the significance of the first decision finding for the complainants on the basis of intersectional sexuality discrimination under CEDAW and to assess whether this amounts to queering CEDAW.

对《消除对妇女歧视公约》提出质疑?国际人权法中的性取向、性别认同和表达以及性特征(SOGIESC)

摘要 2020 年,联合国消除对妇女歧视委员会(CEDAW 委员会)首次发现,在一对女同性恋夫妇遭受仇视同性恋仇恨犯罪的情况下,一个国家违反了防止对妇女歧视的义务。没有任何国际人权条约明确禁止基于性取向、性别认同和表达或性别特征的歧视 (SOGIESC)。联合国条约机构正在根据此类主张制定判例法,主张者有时被迫辩称他们因“其他身份”而受到歧视。本文将 CEDAW 委员会在 ON 和 DP 诉俄罗斯联邦案中的观点置于试图对国际法,特别是国际人权法进行酷儿化的背景下。它分析了旨在使国际人权法变得古怪的三种策略的成本和收益:平等/普遍主义、特殊权利/SOGIESC 条约;和酷儿 CEDAW。本文旨在评估基于 CEDAW 下的交叉性歧视的第一个决定对申诉人的重要性,并评估这是否等同于 CEDAW。
