Briefings

Far-right activists are organizing a new U.N. Core Group to oppose existing protections for LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights, aiming to create a coordinated voting bloc that dilutes international human rights standards. The group, led by Mexico-based activist Aarón Lara, plans to collaborate with anti-LGBTQ+ governments to frame reproductive rights as 'sovereign resistance' against globalism. This initiative follows the U.S. withdrawal from the original LGBTI Core Group in 2026, occurring during the U.N.'s General Assembly in October 2026.

Key points

• Aarón Lara, founder of the Ibero-American Congress for Life and Family (CIVF), proposed the new U.N. Core Group in an August 2026 article, stating it would provide organized conservative opposition to the existing LGBTI Core Group.
• The new Core Group aims to enable coordinated voting to dilute, block, or impose conditions on language regarding sexual and reproductive health and rights, as detailed in an October 2026 briefing paper from Ipas.

Context

The U.N. General Assembly in October 2026 saw far-right leaders meet for the Global Forum for Life and Freedoms alongside Trump administration officials. While the original LGBTI Core Group has 42 member states since 2008, this new group seeks to replace it with an opposing organization focused on undermining reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights globally.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to a single article and a single NGO briefing paper from October 2026. No data on the specific number of members in the new group, the exact timeline for its creation, or the specific voting mechanisms beyond 'coordinated voting' is provided. The article notes the group's leaders want to capitalize on the current administration's stance but offers no confirmation of their plans being implemented.
