Lithuanian Government should improve draft law proposals on transgender rights \u2013 claim HRMI and Lithuanian Gay League in their joint submission<\/a> to the Committee of Ministers.<\/p>\n

The submission evaluates the steps the Lithuanian Government took so far to implement European Court of Human Rights judgement in the case of L v Lithuania (2007)<\/i><\/a>. The court ruled Lithuania violated the rights of transgender applicant by failing to adopt legal gender reassignment procedures.<\/p>\n

HRMI and LGL drew the Committee\u2019s attention that the proposals of the Government\u2019s task force fall short of the European and international standards in this area. European Council member states are obliged to create quick, transparent and accessible procedures, allowing transgender people to change their name and gender in personal documents.<\/p>\n

The Government however suggests that these changes can be made only upon receiving a certificate from an unspecified health institution, and the draft law fails to forsee proceedings or criteria for issuing such certificate. This is only one of the shortcomings of the Government\u2019s proposals.<\/p>\n
