No. 26 of 2001

European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Bill would make rights under the European Convention on Human Rights enforceable in Irish courts, while keeping the Constitution supreme. Courts would have to interpret laws compatibly with the Convention where possible, and public bodies would have to act consistently with it; people could seek damages for breaches, or compensation where a court finds that an otherwise valid law is incompatible. It would also expand the Human Rights Commission and allow it to bring Convention-related cases.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to enable further effect to be given, subject to the Constitution, to certain provisions of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms done at Rome on the 4th day of November 1950 and certain Protocols thereto, to amend the Human Rights Commission Act, 2000, and to provide for related matters
