In this section you can read about the work we do on human rights issues.
1. Our mission
We operate independently to strengthen human rights protection and equality legislation, including:
promoting awareness, understanding and protection of human rights
encouraging public authorities to comply with the Human Rights Act
protecting those most at risk of human rights abuses
challenging government and public service providers if they breach human rights, using our legal powers monitoring the human rights situation, then reporting our findings and recommendations to the government and Parliament advising on the human rights implications of policies and proposed legislation, for example by providing parliamentary briefings and responding to government consultations
