A human rights-based approach involves applying the principles of participation, accountability, non-discrimination, empowerment and legality to addressing an issue. The Commission is working with See Me to help embed a human rights-based approach in the work it supports to end mental health stigma and discrimination.
Poverty represents a failure to fulfil a range of human rights including the right to an adequate standard of living, including adequate food, housing and the right to earn a decent living.
Police play a vital role in defending some of our most fundamental human rights. They support our ability to live free from violence, crime and fear, and help create an environment within which other rights and freedoms can be enjoyed. Since it was established in 2008, the Scottish Human Rights Commission has worked closely with police in Scotland and since its creation, with Police Scotland. Nevertheless there are still things that can be done to improve policing in Scotland.
