Renewed fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan in and around the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region dating to September 27, the worst in years, has caused hundreds of civilian and military casualties.

Reframing LGBTQ+ Rights as Human Rights
| Start: | |

| End: | |
| Venue: | go.fiu.edu/reframingrights |
In the last two decades, a lot of progress has been achieved in terms of globally promoting and expanding LGBTQ+ rights. Yet while some countries have provided more inclusive and just policies, others have contested the advances with reference to their culture or sovereignty. The question of reframing LGBTQ+ rights as human rights for those individuals aims to avoid the polarization over those rights as special and/or "Western". Join us as we explore international LGBTQ+ politics.
