History[edit]

ILGLaw was formed in 1999 at Wikipedia:King's College London by "lawyers from three different continents" after the Wikipedia:Admiral Duncan pub bombing that targeted gay people.[1] The organization hosted conferences in 2000 in Wikipedia:Amsterdam, in 2002 in Wikipedia:Turin, Italy, featuring keynote speakers such as Justice Wikipedia:Edwin Cameron of the Wikipedia:Constitutional Court of South Africa and Justice Wikipedia:Wilhelmina Thomassen of the Wikipedia:European Court of Human Rights. ILGLaw participated in the Wikipedia:Lavender Law conference in New York City in October 2003, and hosted its third conference in partnership with the Wikipedia:University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 2005.[2]

Activities[edit]

The association presents an annual Wikipedia:Karl Heinrich Ulrichs Award for distinguished contributions to the advancement of LGBTI equality.[4] The award is named in honour of Wikipedia:Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a German (WP) activist who is believed to have been the world's first openly gay Wikipedia:lawyer. The award was announced in 2002, and presented for the first time in 2005. The award is presented every three years at the organization's international conference.
