International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Follow-Up Conference
In July 2008, Ireland was examined by the UN Human Rights Committee under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The report is here (scroll down to the Irish section, click on the E in the right-most column – so far as I can tell, the UN server won’t accept a deeper link, unfortunately), and I’ve discussed aspects of it here. In July 2008, the Free Legal Advice Centres (FLAC), the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) and the Irish Penal Reform Trust (IPRT) submitted an excellent shadow report (pdf) to the Human Rights Committee; and they have now come together again to organize a follow-up event to raise awareness of the Committee’s recommendations on Ireland.
It will be held on Monday, 6 April 2009, at the Radisson SAS Hotel, Golden Lane, Dublin 2.
