Diese Masterarbeit behandelt die Verfolgung von LGBTI Personen und ihr Recht auf Asyl. Insbesondere werden die spezifischen Probleme und Herausforderungen einer Person, die aufgrund ihrer sexuellen Orientierung oder Geschlechtsidentität flüchten muss, betrachtet. Dazu zählen etwa Schwierigkeiten im Zusammenhang mit der Glaubhaftmachung des Asylgrundes gegenüber den Behörden sowie Probleme in Hinblick auf die inländische Fluchtalternative oder ein spätes Vorbringen des Fluchtgrundes. Neben der Definition der Begriffe LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans* und Intersex), Asylsuchende, Flüchtling, Migrant_innen gibt die Arbeit einen Einblick in die gesellschaftliche und rechtliche Lage von LGBTI Personen in der Europäischen Union. Es werden gesetzliche Bestimmungen zum Schutz von LGBTI Personen besprochen, sowie Hassverbrechen und Diskriminierungen gegen LGBTI Personen in der Europäischen Union erörtert. Anschließen wird dargestellt was Verfolgung ist, welche Verfolgungsgründe in der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention anerkannt sind, sowie wo und in welcher Art und Weise LGBTI Personen Verfolgungen drohen. Wichtige Rechtsquellen im Asyl- und Flüchtlingsrecht, die insbesondere für LGBTI Asylsuchende von Bedeutung sind, werden genauer betrachtet. Weiters gehe ich auf die Fragen ein, ob die Anforderung die sexuelle Orientierung oder Geschlechtsidentität im Herkunftsland zu verbergen menschenrechtskonform ist. Im letzten Kapitel werden spezifische Probleme im Aufnahmeland, vor allem im Zusammenhang mit der Unterbringung, sowie die Problematik der Mehrfachdiskriminierung von LGBTI Flüchtlingen, erörtert. ; This master thesis deals with the persecution of LGBTI people and their right to asylum. In particular, the specific problems and challenges a person who is forced to flee, because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, will be examined. These include difficulties related to the substantiation of the reasons for asylum to the authorities as well as problems with regard to the internal flight alternative or a late submission of the flight reason. In addition to the definitions of the terms LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans* and Intersex), asylum seekers, refugees, migrants, the paper gives an insight into the social and legal situation of LGBTI people in the European Union. It discusses legal provisions for the protection of LGBTI people as well as hate crimes and discrimination against LGBTI people in the European Union. Afterwards, it will be shown what persecution is, which reasons for persecution are recognized in the Geneva Convention, as well as where and in what manner LGBTI people threatens persecutions. Important legal sources in asylum and refugee law, which are particularly for LGBTI asylum seekers of importance, are examined in more detail. Moreover I address the issue, whether the request to conceal the sexual orientation or gender identity in the country of origin is conform to human rights. In the last chapter specific problems in the host country, especially in connection with the accommodation and the problem of multiple discrimination against LGBTI refugees, are discussed. ; Manfred Derler ; Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des Verfassers ; Zsfassung in dt. und engl.

Following the directives of UNHCR concerning the definition of a 'social group' as a cohesive and vulnerable group whose members share essential characteristics of identity, Brazil's National Committee for Refugees (CONARE) has determined that sexual minorities should be considered as a social group for the purposes of applying the 1951 Refugee Convention and Brazil's Refugee Law. In analysing the question of the well-founded fear of persecution as grounds for claiming asylum, CONARE includes consideration of the criminalisation of sexual relations between same-sex adults when assessing the potential risk to life or freedom of the refugee applicant in their country of origin. 78 countries out of 193 still have legislation criminalising same-sex consensual acts between adults.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) asylum seekers and refugees face a myriad of threats, risks and vulnerabilities throughout all stages of the displacement cycle. There needs to be greater awareness not only of the specific protection concerns relating to LGBTI individuals but also of related jurisprudence and guidance available for UN staff, partners, state authorities and decision-makers.

Includes abstract. ; Includes bibliographical references. ; African countries have increasingly come under fire for the maltreatment of homosexuals by those within the state and society. The region is rife with instances of homophobia manifesting themselves in acts of discrimination or even violence. In response to this international actors have sought to urge African countries to protect the rights of sexual minorities. However, the endeavour has proved somewhat unsuccessful as African nation states continue to resist the diffusion of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Intersex (LGBTI) norm. This study seeks to highlight the gaps within the Norm Life Cycle model as developed by Martha Finnemore and Kathryn Sikkink by exploring the difficulties faced in diffusing the LGBTI norm into Malawi. The rejection of the LGBTI norm by Malawians at societal level shows an impediment to norm diffusion that is not considered by the Norm Cycle model. The case of Malawi illustrates the limitations of the model and, in turn, the need for a lens that takes into consideration the specificities at the local level. This dissertation shows that there is a need to analyse the 'norm takers' – one must take into account the variances between nation states in terms of such facets as culture, tradition and identity. It will utilise the rejection of the norm by Malawian society to argue for a more localised understanding of norm diffusion.
