Ireland and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
The purpose of this parallel report on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to the UN Human Rights Committee is to update the Committee on relevant developments since the adoption of its List of Issues on Ireland in January 2021.
It follows the Commission’s engagement with the Committee during Ireland’s fourth periodic review in 2014, and as part of the follow-up procedure in 2015, and 2017.
The focus and structure of this report reflects the priority issues identified by the Committee for the review, as well as the Commission’s Strategy Statement 2022-2024.
