Recent Developments in Northern Ireland: Statements (25 May 2022)

Simon Coveney: ...about the draft legislation. Many in the political parties, civil society and academia have deep concerns. There is a fundamental question as to whether the legislation as drafted is properly compliant with the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR, and, by extension, the Good Friday Agreement, which committed to the full incorporation of those rights into Northern Ireland law. The...

Seanad: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (25 May 2022)

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...had on terms such as "harmful" or "offensive". It is appropriate that we try to address damaging and harmful communications, in particular those targeted at persons covered under equality legislation, the ECHR and other areas. The phrase "offensive" is quite loose and the amendment is an attempt to amend that. Other amendments deal with harmful content and we will debate this issue in...

Roderic O'Gorman: ...23 and 24 and the rigidity they would build into the legislation by creating a definition of personal data rather than using one that develops according to the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR.

Thomas Pringle: ...to defend properly what they say. On top of this, the exclusion of defamatory legal actions from the civil legal scheme is also contrary to Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR, which provides that everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing in the determination of his civil rights and obligations. Unfortunately, in Ireland, that means that everyone is...

Mary Seery Kearney: ...has published extensively in this area and I am a proud owner of two of her books. I have two points to raise with her, the first of which is the position of the European Court of Human Rights, ECHR, decision, particularly the one in France. In that regard, it is an advisory opinion. What is its standing in the Irish context? Is it open to this committee to recommend that we ban...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Second Stage (27 Apr 2022)

Helen McEntee: ...the Bill incorporates into the commission's remit recommendations for nominations by the Government to courts outside of the State and this includes the CJEU and the European Court of Human Rights, ECHR. We should not take our strong record for judicial excellence and independence for granted. We are very well served by the Judiciary and we are fortunate in that regard. However, it...

Under both the Constitution of Ireland and the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR, there must be equality of arms insofar as that can be achieved between the accused and the prosecution. This does...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Surrogacy in Ireland and in Irish and International Law: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Apr 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

...ignored in the hope it will go away. International law increasingly stipulates that children born through surrogacy have a right to recognition, whether under the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR, as part of EU law or via a future Hague Convention. Second, promoting ethical surrogacy is a complex task that needs a sophisticated understanding of how surrogacy really works and not...

...litigation concerning adoption in surrogacy, which I am involved in. I cannot, therefore, make any comments broadly about that. What I will say in terms of the European Court of Human Rights, ECHR, case law is that the ECHR said the mother has to be recognised and that can be done via adoption. I suppose, therefore, that is relevant in terms of international obligations.

...on the best material available, from the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the UN special rapporteur on the sale and sexual exploitation of children and the European Court of Human Rights, ECHR. I attempted to explain what this law would look like. Of course, there may be points of detail that could be tweaked and so on, but to my mind, just because it is difficult, challenging...

...St. Andrews Agreement in 2006. Into 2022, we are in a situation where even the core Good Friday Agreement commitment to, and achievement of, the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR, into Northern Ireland law is under threat from the UK Government. While there were many welcome commitments within the body of NDNA, to date, far from it constituting a new...

...of this new legislation lies in its greater assimilation of human rights standards as to privacy, expression, fair trial, liberty, and association, stemming from our Constitution, the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR, the UNCRPD and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Article 3 of the ECHR puts a positive obligation on the State to protect the public from harm and a positive duty to investigate allegations. All of these matters need to be considered to ensure that the GSOC process...

...and also protects them from discrimination they may suffer as a result of their connection to their parents. While the UNCRC itself does not define discrimination, the European Court of Human Rights, ECHR, has found that while treating people differently does not always amount to discrimination, a difference in treatment will be discriminatory if it “has no objective and reasonable...

France, where a French woman challenged the very strict laws that operated in France to prevent individuals from gaining information about...
