Scottish Human Rights Bill Pt. 2 Ft.Barbara Bolton

This is part 2 of our Scotland’s Human Rights Bill episode of the Our Rights Stories podcast created and developed by the JustRight Scotland team.     This episode continues to look at the Scottish Government’s consultation proposals for a Human Rights Bill published on 15th June which will close on 5 October 2023.  We are focusing on this topic as part of our Scottish campaign which aims to call for the right to an effective remedy – one that is accessible, affordable, timely and effective – to be included in the Bill as a substantive right, with a duty to comply.  

That was omitted from the Consultation proposals.     Inclusion of this right in the framework Human Rights Bill will ensure it is part of national law and can be used to drive positive change, in the same way as the other substantive rights.
