The ECHR is deeply embedded within the 1998 Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. This commitment does not allow the UK Government to formulate some version of what it regards as ECHR-equivalent protections. Read our joint statement 👇 @ppr-org.bsky.social & Human Rights Consortium NI

To paraphrase Mary Robinson, the Good Friday Agreement moved #equality 'from the margins to the mainstream'. Dr. Robbie McVeigh's new report for @equalitycoalition.bsky.social examines councils' use of Section 75 and 'call-in' to see whether that is still the case: caj.org.uk/publications...
The front cover of the report is being held up outside Parliament Buildings at Stormont, with the skyline of Belfast in the background. The expert panel of speakers at the report launch are all sitting on chairs at the front of the room, in front of a colourful Equality Coalition banner.Patricia and Daniel from the Equality Coalition opening the event.
