"We, the undersigned Ambassadors of Canada, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, USA and the UK, and Chargés d’Affaires of Australia, Chile, Czechia and Iceland celebrate Pride Month by affirming the inherent human rights of each individual as expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, including members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) community. Unfortunately, LGBTQI+ individuals throughout the world continue to face violence, harassment, and discrimination simply because of who they are or whom they love.

This June, we celebrate Pride Month by applauding the accomplishments of LGBTQI+ activists and their allies, all of whom are working to ensure that every individual, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or sex characteristics, receives the full protection of the law. We recognise in particular those who experience multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination. Human rights are universal and everyone, including LGBTQI+ persons, is entitled to their full enjoyment."
