International human rights law challenges state regulation of sexuality norms.
The article explores how different countries interpret and apply human rights laws to issues of sexual freedom, focusing on privacy, family life, and discrimination based on sexual orientation. It shows that states use a mix of libertarian and nondiscrimination approaches when deciding on equal rights for sexual minorities. Religious opposition and challenges with libertarian theories can affect these decisions. The study reveals that international human rights laws are still evolving in how they protect sexual minorities, balancing between incomplete application and theoretical inconsistencies. Overall, the research highlights how ideas and norms can influence how countries view and treat human rights in relation to sexuality.
