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.
The Scottish Human Rights Commission has submitted a report to the UN, identifying areas where more could be done to ensure people's human rights are respected and protected in line with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
