Human rights in this area are explored further in our Access to Justice Spotlight Project, which looks at the human rights complaints process for rights holders in places of detention.
Additionally, human rights in places of detention were identified as a key concern in our Strategic Plan 2024-28, so we will continue our long standing efforts on this programme of work.
These case studies show how different organisations have put a human rights based approach into practice in their work. They were produced by the Commission with support from various partners, as part of Scotland's National Action Plan for Human Rights.
