The Equality and Human Rights Commission has been unable to adequately provide leadership and gain trust in tackling racial inequality in the protection and promotion of human rights, says the Joint Committee on Human Rights.
The Joint Committee on Human Rights is troubled by the Bill itself and the Government's use of inflammatory language to describe lawyers representing those who have been harmed by unlawful mistreatment at the hands of the UK Armed Forces.
Young people's rights are at risk through unlawful blanket bans on visits, the suspension of routine inspections, increased use of restraint and solitary confinement, and the vulnerability of those in detention to infection with COVID-19.
Report describes the "horrific reality" of a system which inflicts terrible suffering on those detained and causes anguish to their distraught families.
The use of pain inducing techniques and solitary confinement of children in detention must be banned, says a new report by the UK Parliament’s Human Rights Committee.
