Human rights situation of LBGT people in Armenia during 2023: Annual report

The Pink Human Rights Defender Non-Governmental Organization annually compiles a report that summarizes documented violations occurring during services provided to LGBT individuals. The first section of the report details the recorded violations for which the Pink Human Rights Defender NGO offered consultation and essential support. Cases are categorized based on the specific rights that were infringed, though it is important to note that some cases may involve multiple rights violations. Each section provides a concise overview of the violated rights in given situations, referencing international documents and interpretations by relevant bodies involved with these documents.

The second part of the report addresses hate speech. It provides a brief explanation of the criteria for defining and identifying hate speech as well as the legal regulations outlined in international documents and the domestic legal system. Additionally, the report presents various cases of hate speech, noting the different degrees of danger they pose. Some instances are punishable under Armenian criminal law, while others are not.
