On 28 September 2011, at a gathering convened by Maastricht University and the International Commission of Jurists, a group of experts in international law and human rights adopted the Maastricht Principles on Extraterritorial Obligations of States in the area of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Based on legal research conducted over a period of more than a decade, the undersigned experts adopted the following principles.
In 2017, to inform our own work, and to provide insights for other organisations working to advance human rights, the Commission contracted research specialists YouGov Plc to get a better understanding of the current knowledge and attitudes towards human rights among people in Scotland. The findings demonstrate strong support for human rights in Scotland, but also areas where more work is required to build understanding and support for human rights. This report summarises the findings.
