A Northern Ireland Bill of Rights and an emphasis on economic and social rights are ongoing priorities for the NIHRC and it is not surprising that they feature on the programme.� However it is disappointing that there is no mention of cultural rights.� This is an aspect of human rights that has a particular relevance in Northern Ireland, especially in relation to areas such as education, museums and cultural infrastructure.
