The
Declaration of Montreal on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Human Rights is a document adopted in
Montreal,
Quebec,
Canada, on July 29, 2006, by the International Conference on LGBT Human Rights which formed part of the
first World Outgames. The Declaration outlines a number of rights and freedoms pertaining to
LGBT and
intersex people that it is proposed be universally guaranteed. It encompasses all aspects of human rights, from the guarantee of fundamental freedoms to the prevention of discrimination against LGBT people in
healthcare,
education and
immigration. The Declaration also addresses various issues that impinge on the global promotion of
LGBT rights. Intended as a starting point in listing the demands of the international
LGBT movement, it will ultimately be submitted to the
United Nations.
