European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Committee Stage.
The purpose of the amendment is to at least raise the issue by stating that if someone is convicted, in breach of his or her human rights, as defined under the convention, the State should have to address the issue of a pardon. It is the least one could expect from the State in such a case. Hopefully, we will have some time to discuss section 5, because I still want to refer to subsection 2(a).
