UNITED NATIONS, Mar 20, 2001 (LSN.ca) - UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland said she would resign from her position at the UN. Last March Robinson announced that she would step down but reversed her decision a couple of weeks later asking for her term to be extended for one year.
Over her tenure at the UN, Robinson has been one of the most outspoken proponents of homosexuality and abortion under the guise of protection from discrimination based on "sexual orientation" and "reproductive rights." The International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA), was accorded special recognition by Robinson. In October 1998 ILGA met with Robinson in Geneva to discuss the advancement of lesbian and gay rights as human rights. According to an ILGA report on the meeting, Robinson appointed a liaison person in her office for ILGA to maintain stronger links and requested that ILGA supply material to help in the training of lesbian and gay awareness for all UN employees and working groups.
