Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Discussion with Amnesty International Ireland

2:40 pm

Mr. Colm O'Gorman:

The eternal challenge for Amnesty International is to make a call on the issues to raise from the broad-ranging agenda. Human rights is such a broad area of work that trying to focus our agenda to ensure we have maximum possible impact is an enormous challenge. Nowhere is that more obvious than in the work we do on the cases of individuals who are experiencing human rights violations.
