Celebrating Cambodias LGBT Community on International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia
The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO) is celebrated every year on 17th May. It is coordinated by the Paris-based IDAHO Committee founded and presided over by the French academic and gay rights activist Louis-Georges Tin. 17th May was chosen as the day for the event because it marks the date in 1992 that homosexuality was removed from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization. IDAHO is celebrated in more than 50 countries around the world. Cambodias Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and its supporters will come together to celebrate IDAHO as part of Cambodian Pride Week 2010.

The council elections have become a pre-cooked process that strips the meaning from the membership standards established by the General Assembly, said Peggy Hicks, global advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. States serious about the role the council can play in promoting human rights should push for competitive slates in all regions, and should be willing to compete for a seat themselves.
