Law (Law N.º 30947), of May 23, 2019, which guarantees the right “to enjoy the highest possible level of mental health” “without any discrimination,” taking into account the particular circumstances of each person and, in particular, those in “vulnerable situations, special protection groups, persons who are at risk, abandoned or unprotected and victims of violence.” (viii) Regarding the appointment of a governing body for LGBTIQ+ equality, the State argued that the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations, as well as the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights have carried out diligent work aimed at protecting vulnerable groups in Peru, including the LGBTIQ+ population. (ix) Regarding the ratification of the Inter-American Convention Against all Forms of Discrimination and Intolerance, the State referred to the comments made in the Commission’s fourth recommendation and indicated that a legislative initiative is already underway to approve this instrument. (x) Finally, regarding the need to implement an administrative procedure for the recognition of the gender identity of trans people in line with the standards established in Advisory Opinion OC-24/17, the State pointed out that the case in question concerns an alleged act of discrimination based on sexual orientation, but is not directly related to gender identity. 153. In relation to the first recommendation made by the Commission (supra para. 148) and the fifth request for reparation made by the representatives (supra para. 149), this Court positively appreciates the efforts made by the State in recent years to design and implement public policies to promote respect for human rights in society. However, in light of the violations declared in this judgment, the Court finds that it is necessary to develop a specific public policy that expressly promotes respect for the rights of LGBTIQ+ people. To this end, the State must design and implement, within two years from notification of this judgment, an annual information and awareness-raising campaign at national level in the media, regarding the importance of promoting a culture of respect and non-discrimination to guarantee the rights of LGBTIQ+ people in society. To this end, the State must submit to the Court an annual report for five years following the implementation of the first campaign. 154. With regard to the second recommendation made by the Commission (supra para. 148) and the first and second requests for reparation made by the representatives (supra para. 149), the Court recalls that in the case of Azul Rojas Marín et al. v. Peru it ordered the State of Peru “to create and implement, within two years, a training plan for agents of the Peruvian National Police, the Public Prosecution Service, the Judiciary and the serenazgo aimed at raising the awareness of members of the law enforcement agencies and prosecutors with regard to: respect for sexual orientation and gender expression in their actions involving civilians; due diligence in conducting investigations and judicial proceedings related to discrimination, sexual violence and torture of LGBTI Q+ people; and the discriminatory nature of stereotypes concerning sexual orientation and gender expression and the negative impact that their use has on the LGBTIQ+ community.” 210 155. The Court considers, however, that this training plan is focused on cases of sexual violence and torture directed against LGBTI persons, whereas the instant case relates to 210 Cf.
