The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has today (17 February 2010) published its response to the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) consultation paper on a Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland.
NIHRC Chief Commissioner Professor Monica McWilliams stated:
“Legislation of such importance is deserving of greater consideration and analysis than appears to have been invested in the NIO consultation paper on a Bill of Rights. As a national human rights institution, the Commission does not accept this as a genuine effort to increase human rights protections in Northern Ireland.”
