This book asks the fundamental question of how new human rights
issues emerge in the human rights debate. To answer this, the book
focuses on nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and on the case
study of LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex)
rights. The work argues that the way in which NGOs decide their
advocacy, conceptualise human rights violations and strategically
present legal analysis to advance LGBTI human rights shapes the
human rights debate. To demonstrate this, the book analyses three
data sets: NGO written statements submitted to the United Nations
Human Rights Council, NGO oral statements delivered during the
Universal Periodic Review and 36 semi-structured interviews with
NGO staff. Data are analysed with a combination of quantitative and
qualitative approaches to discover what issues are most important
for LGBTI networks (issue emergence) and how these issues are
framed (issue framing). Along with NGO efficiency in lobbying for
the emergence of new human rights standards, the book inevitably
discusses important questions related to NGOs’ accountability and
democratic legitimacy. The book thus asks whether the right to
marry is important for LGBTI advocates working transnationally,
because this right is particularly controversial among activists
and LGBTI communities, especially in non-Western contexts.
