The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission was established late in the life of the Criminal Justice Review Group. Consequently it took an early decision not to make a formal submission to the Group.
Following the meeting between the NIHRC and the CJRG on 28 June, the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has reconsidered its position and has now decided to make this brief written submission to the Review Group. This submission builds upon the views expressed by the NIHRC at the meeting of 28 June 1999. In the time available, the Commission was unable to produce a comprehensive submission dealing with all the issues of concern regarding the criminal justice system in Northern Ireland. The issues the Commission raises are those which are directly related to its mandate or reflect those which have been brought to the attention of this Commission in its consultative meetings to date with individuals and groups.
