Annual Human Rights Statement 2024

Last Updated: Wednesday, 8 January 2025

The Commission's Annual Statement 2024 provides an overview of the human rights landscape in NI in the last year.

The Annual Statement does not aim to provide an academic analysis of each identified issue. Instead, it aims to be used as a reference document that provides a summary of the NI-specific international obligations and domestic context, which lead to the Commission’s recommendations on steps that should be taken to ensure human rights compliance. This format is followed for each human rights issue contained within. Reading from cover-to-cover is encouraged, however the table of contents can be utilised to navigate to issues of interest within the Annual Statement.
