Ronald Kihali OMEDO Thank you Madame Chair. I am a Master’s student and advocate of the High Court of Kenya. I wish to highlight the urgent need to ensure that LGBT minorities who face intersectional discrimination are fully included in peacebuilding, accountability and transitional justice processes. LGBT minorities experience compounded marginality, that is displacement, targeted violence, exclusion from humanitarian assistance, and limited access to justice during and after conflicts. Yet, their experiences remain largely invisible in transitional justice mechanisms, truth-seeking processes, and reparation frameworks. When these voices are absent, transitional justice risks reproducing the very inequalities that they seek to address. We must reaffirm that peace cannot be sustainable if it excludes those most affected by violence, stigma, and structural discrimination. I respectfully offer the following three recommendations: 1) States should guarantee the safe, meaningful, and adequately resourced participation of LGBT minorities in truth commissions, reparation programs, and national consultations; 2) States should adopt and enforce legal and institutional safeguards that protect LGBT minority groups from reprisals, discrimination, and exclusion during peacebuilding and accountability processes; 3) Civil society and community-based actors should be supported, both politically and financially, to document violations against LGBT minorities and to preserve their narrative as part of national memory and truth-seeking efforts. Thank you.
