Priority #1 for this Assembly and Executive needs to be putting in place additional human rights ⚖️ legislation that protects us all. Including when we don’t have an Executive. #MakeOurFutureFair

Great briefing by Children's Law Centre (CLC) for today’s Assembly debate on SEND. Showing failures to protect the rights of CYP in this jurisdiction. Time the Convention on Rights of Children (CRC) was made legal in domestic law in N.Ireland via our own Bill of Rights. #MakeOurFutureFair

This is a fact that we hear regularly from our membership. We see the direct impact of caring on rural women’s own health and wellness and the lack of value placed on the vital care they provide. #CostofCaring

Really important judgment today in the High Court with the Legacy Act deemed to be in contravention of the ECHR and Art 2 of the Windsor Framework. UK Govt needs to stop ignoring its existing human rights obligations when drafting new laws and policies. judiciaryni.uk/judicial-decis…

Feels like Groundhog Day every time a UK PM threatens to undermine or scrap the HRA/ECHR & forgets about the inconvenient fact that the NI peace process guarantees access to the Convention. Shouldn’t a Govt want to protect human rights rather than destroy them?#MakeOurFutureFair

Delighted that High Court judgment today following Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission case (that we supported with Public Interest Litigation Support) challenging the Illegal Migration Act means elements of the Act will now be disapplied in Northern Ireland. 📢👏⚖️❤️Statement rb.gy/2yezlr Judgment rb.gy/z4lygh

Great to catch up with Kevin Hanratty and the Human Rights Consortium NI team this morning on outstanding commitments, Windsor Framework and int’l rights standards. Our human rights framework can’t be a casualty of this Tory government - SDLP MPs will fight any attempt to rollback rights.

My article in the The Irish News today reflecting on last weeks challenge to the Illegal Migration Act by Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission & Phoenix Law Belfast The UK Govt needs to learn the lesson & stop ✋ introducing laws that are clearly in violation of fundamental rights. ⚖️📢

Vital that UK Prime Minister Hilary Benn & The Labour Party prioritise the delivery of our local Bill of Rights. The NI Assembly & Executive 🏛️ have clearly been unable to advance rights protections here without it. ⌛️Time for our Bill of Rights. ⚖️
