Bill Of Rights For Northern Ireland
EDM number 329 in 2013-14, proposed by Margaret Ritchie on 01/07/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Devolution, Human rights and Western Europe.
That this House believes that there should be a legally enforceable Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland; recognises that such a rights-based framework would enshrine fundamental protections and freedoms for everyone while promoting equality across society; is concerned that 15 years after the Good Friday Agreement the Government has not fulfilled its commitment to provide a Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland; recognises that a Bill of Rights is a central part of Northern Ireland's internationally-recognised peace agreement and is central to the creation of a truly shared society in Northern Ireland; notes that an IPSOS/MORI poll showed that supporters of all the main parties were 80 per cent in favour of a Bill of Rights; and urges the Government to meet its obligation to introduce a Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland and complete the full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.
This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
