ABSTRACT:
The basic principles of preventing and combating discrimination are enshrined in international legal instruments and implemented at the national level, but this does not guarantee the effective implementation of protection of persons against discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity. The lack of a clear and effective mechanism for responding to any manifestations of discrimination, its prevention and counteraction creates new forms of discrimination and further exacerbates the already unresolved problems in society. Given that the LGBT movement is a discriminatory stratum, the need to effectively combat and protect against discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity in order to realize the rights of individuals in various spheres of society is emphasized.
