The principles affirm binding legal standards which are in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They were adopted by a group of distinguished experts in international law following a meeting in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Among the group of experts are a former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson; UN independent experts; current and former members of human rights treaty bodies; judges; academics and human rights defenders such as Asma Jahangir from Pakistan; Justice Sanji Mmasenono Monageng from Botswana; Justice Lawrence Mute from Kenya; Alice Miller from Columbia University and others.

The Yogyakarta Principles call for action from the UN human rights system, national human rights institutions, non-governmental organisations, and others.
