The Commission has published a briefing on care homes and human rights during COVID-19. The briefing sets out the human rights framework as it applies to the issues that have arisen in care homes, and details the requirements of human rightslaw to ensure effective investigations are carried out by the state.
Policing
Police can 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.
The effective protection of human rights rests with Police Scotland and a number of public bodies with responsibility for policing in Scotland. The State has an overarching obligation to respect, protect, and fulfil everyone's human rights.
