Abstract

The Leiden Overview on SOGIESC in International Law is a list of existing online introductory video/audio/reading materials about the international legal aspects of sexual orientation, gender identity/expression or sex characteristics. One of its intended uses is as preparatory material for anyone (considering) taking part in Leiden University’s annual Summer School on SOGI in International Law. Also others can used it as an introduction to -- or as course materials about -- the growing field of sexual orientation, gender identity/expression and/or sex characteristics in international law.

The Leiden Overview consists of six paragraphs (Global law; United Nations; Areas of international law; Specific rights; Regional law; National state practice), each divided over three columns (Online introductory video & audio materials; Online introductory reading materials; Further online information).

The first edition of the Leiden Overview was published in 2021 (see https://hdl.handle.net/1887/3249891), and later editions in 2022 and 2023 (all first three editions were by Waaldijk & Gaitho). It is a work in progress that is being updated from time to time, with the latest version being available at https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/education/study-programmes/summer-schools/sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity-in-international-law-human-rights-and-beyond/leiden-overview-on-sogiesc-in-international-law .
