Ireland’s human rights record is set to be examined later this year (10th November) by the UN Human Rights Council. Today, we have invited civil society to our offices for a capacity building event. Speaking at the event Deirdre Malone, IHREC Director welcomed attendees “Never has this work been more essential both at home and globally. National Human Rights Organisations are now a crucial bulwark against the erosion of human rights, the backsliding of democracy and the creeping destruction of the rule of law in many countries worldwide. We must take every opportunity and use every tool at our disposal in our defence and promotion of human rights and equality.”
