1998’s Good Friday (or: Belfast) Agreement called for a human rights commission to advise on a bill of rights. Ten years later (in 2008) the commission presented its report. The list above is from The Community Foundation [For] Northern Ireland. Comhairle Phobail na bhFál (Falls Community Council): “Life; freedom of thought and religion; peaceful assembly; freedom from torture, cruelty; national self-determination; fair conditions of work; join a trade union; social security; maternity leave; be protected from exploitation; housing; education; participate in cultural life.” (A further ten years later – 2018 – there is still no bill.)
