This is a blog is related to my academic work in the International Academic Forum on SOGIESC Law but meant to serve anyone who wants to contribute to improve the protection of human rights worldwide. It is intended to keep interested readers informed about legal developments relating to sexual orientation, gender expression and identity and sex characteristics (SOGIESC). Hopefully, it will make it easier to find correct legal information about the developments in all regions of the world and, in particular, with regard to international law.

Actually the Constitutional Tribunal found the law that was used to convict the printer uncostitutional. The reasoning was based not on the service providers’ rights to act according to their conscience, as is stated in the article. The Tribunal said that there are other ways to protect from discrimination with regards to access to services and that criminal law is just too much – that it is excessive. This is not true, because those “other ways” are not available on the grounds of sex, sexual orientation or gender identity and the other one is not effective.
