Very interesting thanks. Looks like certainly some work needs to started on this and pronto.
The fact that the EngGBUKBrit governements have made sure these rights via the ICCPR have not been included into 'UK' law speaks volumes. Imagine their UK with no monarchy, no HOL's and with PR, it just wouldn't do would it, democracy is to be kept at a minimum at best in the so called UK.
Scotland needs to escape before it's too late. :-/
Good points again Leah. I am keen to develop the idea of a Respect Scottish Sovereignty (RSS) group which will work continueously to promote the Rights of the Scottish People and to ensure that Scottish People can democraticaly use their own traditional and international rights and not Have them denied by MPs in Westminster. If people would like to join the group contact me at andy@mail.scot
How can we as a people challenge Westmobster on this? It would be a good opportunity to do so and demonstrate that we are a sovereign people, which would gain us publicity for promoting that concept in other areas such as energy, where our resources go yo our neighbours while Scots pay the highest prices in the UK.
Is there a body yet that will represent the people?
The Westminster typo was accidental but I liked it!
The Scottish Human Rights Commission is the UN recognised independent watchdog for HR and is exceptionally critical of both Westminster and Holyrood for their lack of action on ICCPR. Unfortunately, SHRC has very limited enforcement powers, together with a limited budget (…), although it can intervene with ScotGov in cases where citizens are systematically being denied their HR. The People need to start writing to their MSPs cc SHRC demanding enactment of ICCPR in Scottish devolved legislation.
