South Korea and the Lack of Protection of LGBTI Rights

This thesis will deal with LGBTI rights in South Korea. More specifically, it will first provide an analysis of how Confucianism, Protestantism, and media influence the perception of sexual minorities in the Country. The second chapter will instead tackle the evolution of sexual minorities' rights within the international law, also providing the reader with examples of violations of LGBTI rights, also citing relevant jurisprudence and quasi-jurisprudence. The third chapter will provide examples of how LGBTI rights are violated in South Korea, and will also tackle the topic of cross-fertilization of the courts, which may represent a good strategy for the promotion of LGBTI rights in South Korea.
