TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Still a blind spot: the protection of LGBT persons during armed conflict and other situations of violence JO - International review of the Red Cross (1999) A1 - Margalit, Alon SP - 237 EP - 265 VL - 100 IS - 907-909 N2 - This article draws attention to the situation of LGBT persons during armed conflict. Subjected to violence and discrimination outside the context of armed conflict, the latter aggravates their vulnerability and exposure to various abuses. Despite important progress made with respect to their protection under human rights law, a similar effort is largely absent from the international humanitarian law discourse. This article accordingly highlights some of the norms and challenges pertaining to the protection of LGBT persons in time of war.
