PLANS to reform gender recognition laws in Scotland have been hailed by a UN human rights expert.
Victor Madrigal-Borloz, a specialist on gender identity, has urged MSPs to pass the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill which has moved into its final scrutiny stage at Holyrood.
He said UN human rights bodies have “constantly” found legal recognition of gender identity through self-identification is the most “appropriate” way to ensure the enjoyment of human rights.
