Argentina's Supreme Court ordered the Justice Department to officially register the Association for the Struggle of the Travesti and Transsexual Identity on Nov. 22.

The department's General Inspectorate of Justice had declined to recognize the group and was backed up by a lower court which said the association's goals went against "the common good."

The new ruling said the earlier determinations violated the nation's guarantees of freedom of association.
