Government policy on Human Rights is led by my colleague the Minister for Foreign Affairs whose Department chairs the Inter-Departmental Committee on Human Rights.

The recent report referred to by the Deputy will be considered by officials, along with other proposals from civil society and interested parties, and feed into overall government consideration of this matter.
