NDM7991 Debate: Human Rights
NDM7991 Lesley Griffiths
(Wrexham)
To
propose that the Senedd:
1. Notes the Welsh Government’s commitment to
strengthen and advance human rights, equality and the protection of minority
communities in Wales.
2. Notes with grave concern the repeated
moves by the UK Government to erode human rights.
3. Believes that UK Government proposals to
repeal the Human Rights Act risks undermining key protections for citizens and
raises significant constitutional issues.
4. Believes the Police, Crime, Sentencing and
Courts Bill undermines the rights of minority communities and jeopardises the
right of lawful and peaceful protests.
5. Agrees with the United Nations Special
Rapporteur that the Nationality and Borders Bill would seriously undermine the
protection of human rights and lead to serious human rights violations.
6. Calls on the UK Government to reverse its
regressive approach on Human Rights and the resulting constitutional
violations.
