The paper aims to understand how the human rights discourse and the sexual orientation and gender identity discourse overlap in the international realm, raising tensions and normativities which undermine different forms of being, living or thinking gender and sexuality and remove the political of these issues in the international arena. In this sense, the human rights discourse, as a pre-existing solution for various problems with focus on the individual and in a procedural view of justice, needs to be revaluated to overcome its Euro-American geography and the frequent debate between cosmopolitism and communitarianism. The way by which human rights are applied demands static subjects that are also reinforced by the sexual orientation and gender identity discourse, reaffirming the western binaries of gender and sexuality and their normativities. Rights related to sexuality and gender are approached as another generation of human rights, having as reference documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and neglecting contingent dialogues in social exchange. The paper dialogues with a radical and collective perspective of human rights, sexuality and gender to recover the political of these issues and the notion of social justice, as well as to consider the multiple constitutions of subjects around the world. In sum, a first part of this paper works with the silence of IR theories about the above-mentioned themes and, then, in a second part, the problems and alternatives are thought with focus on the practice of international relations in international forums.
