In the draft resolution, paragraph 6.2.1, delete the words:

", based on self-determination,"

Explanatory note

Basing the change of gender on self-determination would create an individual right to choose one's legal sex. Most European States impose certain conditions, in order to protect the individual. Only Denmark, Ireland, Malta and to a certain extent Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands do not impose conditions.
