NIWC submission on Justice, Rights and Safeguards: Agenda items 5 & 6

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Northern Ireland Women's Coalition's submission to Strand one of the negotiations emphasizes the critical role of justice, rights, and safeguards in resolving the conflict in Northern Ireland. They advocate for the repeal of emergency legislation, the cessation of derogations from international human rights conventions, and the closure of special interrogation centers. The Coalition calls for a comprehensive review of the criminal justice system and policing, emphasizing the need for accountability, human rights respect, and cross-community support. Additionally, they propose the establishment of a Bill of Rights specific to Northern Ireland, the creation of a Human Rights Commission, and the development of a Human Rights culture, including the reintegration of marginalized individuals and support for victims' and ex-prisoners' organizations.
