The Irish Centre for Human Rights invites you to a public talk on Universal Periodic Review, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identities

By Diana Carolina Prado Mosquera

Diana is the United Nations Programme Officer at ILGA (The International LGBTQI+ Association). Originally from Colombia, Diana holds a master’s in human rights law and spent several years working as International Affairs Adviser to the Colombian government, wherein she was responsible for overseeing the country’s submissions to the second cycle of the Universal Periodic Review. As UN Programme Officer at ILGA, Diana works with states to ensure that the rights of gender- and sexuality-based minorities have a substantive presence in the UPR process.

Discussants for this talk are Aengus Carroll (author of ILGA’s State-Sponsored Homophobia Report), and Sandra Duffy (PhD researcher, Irish Centre for Human Rights; co-author of ILGA’s Trans Legal Mapping Report).
