A letter to the Convenor of the Scottish Parliament's Equalities, HumanRights and Civil Justice Committee on the Commission's response to the Scottish Government's consultation on a new HumanRights Bill for
Scotland.
Policing
Police can play a vital role in defending some of our most fundamental humanrights. 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 humanrights 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 humanrights.
