Description
Summary:The rights of LGTBI people are topical in 21st century society. It is our aim to study the regulations on sexual orientation and gender identity in Northern European countries (United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). We will focus on the extent to which the right to gender reassignment is recognised in national laws, and whether or not these laws respect the European Convention on Human Rights and European Union law, through the decisions of the Euro urt of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. Los derechos de las personas LGTBI están de actualidad en la sociedad del si- glo XXI. Es nuestro propósito estudiar las normas sobre orientación sexual e identidad de género en los países del Norte de Europa (Reino Unido, Irlanda, Islandia, Finlandia, Dinamarca, Noruega, Suecia, Estonia, Letonia y Lituania). Nos dedicaremos sobre todo al estudio del grado de reconocimiento del derecho al cambio de género en las leyes nacionales, así como si esas legislaciones res- petan o no el Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos y la legislación de la Unión Europea, a través de las resoluciones del Tribunal Derechos Humanos y del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea.
