Mr. Justin Moran:

There is also work to be done regarding educating people in those human rights and giving them the power and authority to claim them. It is all very well telling nursing home residents that they have a right to a residents' committee and a right to stand. One has to explain that to them and to support and empower them. There is substantial work to be done. Any time I have dealt with international human rights law, there has always been the suggestion that the job is done when one gets the treaty. The major work comes after that in terms of enabling people to campaign for their human rights, empowering them to do so and ensuring governments realise the treaty is just the beginning of the work. They must then push this forward and, in a proactive way, deliver the necessary legislative change.
