NIWC submission for Strand Two on rights and safeguards

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Northern Ireland Women's Coalition's submission on Rights and Safeguards for Strand Two emphasizes the development of a Culture of Peace across Ireland and the UK, advocating for the harmonization of human rights on a North-South basis. They propose the introduction of a Bill of Rights in Northern Ireland and a comprehensive review of the Republic of Ireland's constitution to better protect human rights. The Coalition stresses the importance of addressing individual and communal rights, including those of women and minority ethnic groups, and suggests a coordinated North-South examination of the UNESCO Culture of Peace concept. Additionally, they advocate for monitoring and enforcement of human rights through new North-South institutions, the potential establishment of a single Human Rights Court for the island, and addressing gender equality on a North-South basis.
