Public Service Pensions Bill

The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission (the Commission),
pursuant to section 69(4) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, advises
the Assembly whether a Bill is compatible with human rights. In
accordance with this function I am writing in relation to the Public
Service Pensions Bill (the Bill).

The Commission draws to the attention of the Committee the right
to social security, protected under Article 9 of the International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and
Article 12 of the European Social Charter (ESC).
