Today, on the occasion of the International Day Against Homophobia, EULEX flies the Rainbow flag at our HQ. The Rainbow flag is a symbol of support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered (LGBT) people globally.
The principle of equal treatment is a fundamental value for the EU, which is going to great lengths to combat homophobia and discrimination based on sexual orientation. Homophobia is an unacceptable violation of human dignity and it is incompatible with the founding values of the EU.
Article 21 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights explicitly prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation, while Article 19 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union allows taking appropriate action to combat this type of discrimination.
EULEX will therefore fly the Rainbow flag on May 17th to demonstrate that we share the core European values of equal treatment, tolerance and respect for diversity, and that Rule of Law is for everyone, in particular minorities and those persons vulnerable to discrimination or unequal treatment on the basis of their sexual orientation.
